Lyrics
Cutting Corners
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.
London is grey but it's great in it's way, If you're just
barrelling through
You find a first class boiler and she Boils your cares away
Well life is a gas, but the laughs never last, So you add a
handful of blues
Now that's a first class ticket if you wanna get away
'Cos if you hang around the greys and browns, They'll just bring
you down
Well it's a useless rap you got to cut the crap
go directly to the things that matter to you
Have to cut corners or fade away, Have to cut corners or fade
away
Going through channels in ties and grey flannels, Just slows
everything down, And when I want a thing, I want it right away
Going straight for the heart, tears your wardrobe, Apart, but it
wears the other guy down
