Hey Young 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.
Hey young London you're looking good
Dressing up like you know you should
Hey young London you're the brightest star
So you ride about got to get that far
Well I've read your face
And seen your place
And you'll let me in
If I share your tastes
You know the night spots
If you wanna stay hip
Have you flown to Paris
Hope you have a good trip
(bridge)
We don't care
You know that we don't care
We don't care
D'you know that we wear flares..
Hey young London you're looking good
The lights are less well that's understood
Hey young London take your time and go
The girls are young but they act so old
You're headin' for
The same pub each night
Girls in the corner
Boys looking for a fight
Even he might rock
Each others self control
When you get engaged
You know you've reached your goal
(bridge)
Hey young London you're looking good
You got the money you can choose your moods
Hey young London you're a bright young thing
Your private houses are a public thing
She's so afraid
She sees a dead still light
And her dress is see-through
And his pants on tight
With his girl at his side
He doesn't need his breaks
And a smile on his face
For all the risks he takes
(chorus)
Hey young London you're looking good
Dressing up like you know you should
Hey young London you're the brightest star
So you ride about got to get that far
Hey young London you're looking good
The lights are less well that's understood
Hey young London take your time and go
The girls are young
