Down To London

Stop - what's that sound

It's the death rattle of this rusty old town

Stop - listen again

It's the sound of laughter all along the thames

Hey - what's my line

Do i have to stay here 'til the end of time

I'm - good lookin' and bright

I wanna see life after ten at night

So if they ask you where i am

I'm in the back of a transit van

In a squat on the earls court road

Gone down to london turning coal into gold

Down to london - down to london

Gone down to london to be the king

Hey - what's your name

The boys back home all seem to look the same

You - should stick with me

And one of us will make it, just you see

Stop - what's that sound

Seems like the sixties are still swingin' around

Hey - can you hear me back there

Or is there anybody left to care

So if you ask me where they are

They're hanging tough in a soho bar

Playing guitars in the underground

Gone down to london tryin' to chase that sound

Down to london - down to london

Gone down to london to be the king

So i ask you should i cry or laugh

Drinking tea in a kings cross caff

A leather jacket against the cold

Gone down to london turning coal into gold

Down to london - down to london

Gone down to london to be the king
