You work these streets with a camera round your neck
It's your weapon of choice, it's your ultimate defence
I've seen your face but I've really seen your smile
Did you leave the ruins or did you build a life

Vivian did you ever realise
All that mystery that you left behind

Ah Vivian
Ah Vivian
Ah Vivian
Ah Vivian

I've looked inside your soul but we never heard your voice
Did we ever see beneath your disguise
The museums and galleries have become your home
Would it mean that much if you were looking down

Vivian did you ever recognise
All that history you never compromised

Ah Vivian
Ah Vivian
Ah Vivian
(Did you ever recognise)
Ah Vivian
(You never compromised)

Vivian did you ever recognise
All that history you never compromised

Ah Vivian
Ah Vivian
Ah Vivian
Ah Vivian

Ah Vivian
(Did you ever realise)
Ah Vivian
(The mystery you left behind)
Ah Vivian
(Did you ever recognise)
Ah Vivian
(You never compromised)
