Ahead of me i see hundreds of people in a crush,
Like america long ago like some kind of gold rush,
Closer now i can see what's going on there,
Oh i see it's a new store opened today with a fanfare.
The cinema can't be to long now as the city lights come on,
I've really enjoyed walking and wonder where the time has gone,
Whilst walking past some one there mobile goes off and chimes,
It's definitely one thing we don't need in modern times.
I can see the cinema now its vast expanse of front,
And now i'm here going to have to hunt,
Ah there it is next to the travelator,
In screen 7 chaplins' The Great Dictator.
