Who here has heard the David Gray song 'Babylon'? I remember when I first heard it I thought it would be a perfect song for Tokyo Babylon. Recently I also saw in the CD shops that on one of his other albums there's a song entitled 'Red Moon' (for those who missed out on the hard-to-find TB image CDs, Red Moon is the name of a song on the 2nd one). And yes, not only the melancholy sound but also the lyrics suit TB quite a bit.

Now, I'm sure that David Gray has never even heard of shoujo manga, still - freaky coincidence!!!!!!
For the curious, here are the lyrics:

Babylon

Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule

Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing in my bloodstream
I Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes, I've made

If you want it
Come and get it
For Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

Sunday all the lights of London
Shining, sky is fading red to blue
And I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Then I’m Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me

If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now

Babylon, Babylon, Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

Red Moon

Weighing that silver
There with your hands
In no position to make demands
Got what you wanted
Oh very nice
But every kiss must have a price

I'm getting tired of
Being denied of
Saying the same old things
And those tears aren't gonna mend
These broken wings
Red moon

All that I've witnessed
Hard to believe
I can still find it in me
To be so naive
Cry on your pillow
Into the night
'Cause saying you're sorry
Won't make it right

I'm getting tired of
Being denied of
Things getting in my way
And if I'm quiet
That's 'cause there's nothing left to say
Yeah if I'm quiet
That's 'cause there's nothing left to say

Red moon
Red moon
Red moon
Red moon
