Lyrics
This Is London
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well we're breaking down
The windows and we're
Kicking down doors
Cigarette, burned fingers
Empty bottles galore
This is nothing
But it's something
This is London
And it's our town
Well you say do this, but
Don't do that
Just follow in the footsteps
Of your old man
He was nothing, was he
Something?
This is London
And it's our fucking town
We don't need no
Testimony
Fix yourself up 'cuz you're
Such a phoney
We try
But you lie
And when you
Lie
We ask why?
'Cuz this is London
And you know you'd like to
Do this
But you don't know how!
C'mon Mr. Big Shot try to
Figure us out!
'Cuz we're nothing, but
We're something
This is London
And it's our town
You can punch in, clock
Out, this is the way
A fair day's work from a fair
Day's pay
Gives you nothing, gives
You something
To call your life, so you can
Waste it away
We don't need no
Testimony
Fix yourself up 'cuz you're
Such a phoney
'Cuz we
Try
But you, you lie
And when you lie
We ask why!
'Cuz this is London
We try
But you, you lie
And when you
Lie
We ask why!
('Cuz we're gonna try) we try
(We ask you why) but you, you lie
('Cuz we're gonna try) and when you, you lie
(Ask you why) we ask why!
'Cuz this is London
Na na na na na na na na na
(We ask why)
Na na na na na na na na na
('Cuz we're gonna try)
Na na na na na na na na na
(We're asking why)
Na na na na na na na na na
(We gonna try)
Na na na na na na na na na
(We gonna try)
Na na na na na na na na na
(We gonna try)
Na na na na na na na na na
