[Verse]
Am Em
Up on the catwalk, a big wheel is spinning
D
And dollars to deutchmarks, and pennies from heaven
Am Em
And up on the catwalk, theres one hundred million
D
With letters from thousands that say ''just who are you?
Am Em
There's one thousand names that can spring up in my mind
D
But youd call it blackmail and thats just not my kind
Am Em
And up on the catwalk, up on the catwalk
D
And I dont know why
[Bridge]

I will be there, I will be there, I will be there
F C Em
I will be there, I will be there
[Verse]
Am Em
Up on the catwalk there's street politicians
D
That crawl in from broadway, say then who are you
Am Em
And up on the catwalk there's one thousand postcards
D
From Montevideo, say that I'll be home soon
Am Em
Get out of Bombay and go up to Brixton
D
and look around, to see just what is missing
Am Em
And up on the catwalk, girls call for mother
D
and dream of their boyfriends and I don't know why

Up on the catwalk, and you dress in waistcoats
D
And got brilliantino, and friends of Kim Philby

You float through the night time, like manna from heaven

But what, what do I know, and just what do I know
Am Em
And up on the catwalk, in sweat that glistens

And I dont know why and I dont know why
Am Em D
I dont know why
