London Oh London Songtext
von Tim Gerard

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

I couldn′t hear nothing above the noise at the bar
The girls at the front were hitting it hard
Was at the Monarch, trying to impress
Some A&R Guy, the place was a mess
The Camden crowd, well they didn't mind
The sound engineer necked a bottle of wine
Up in those lights I thought I′d arrived
Me and my sunburst J-45

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

The queen in your pocket forgives all your crimes
You're making a mint at the worst of times
I can see why it was love at first sight
You're dark as a river, deep as the night


London oh London
This place I call home
You′re peaches and cream
You′re bad to the bone
London oh London
This London of mine
Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Booked one last gig to pay for the rent
Took the rush-hour tube down to the Ned
Old Street, Moorgate, Monument, Bank
Had no one to blame and no one to thank
The suits came out to hear my tunes
While the sun went down on the city of ruins
Drowning in money, nothing to drink
If you won't listen how can you think

London oh London
I saw in your eyes
You′re ripe as a plum
But you're rotten inside
London oh London
This London of mine
Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind


Your lipstick′s red on your golden crown
Your lovers are lost in the underground
Gonna pack up my troubles and leave you behind
Me and my sunburst J-45

London oh London
I'm dying of thirst
I gave you my best and you gave me your worst
London oh London
This London of mine
Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

London oh London
This London of mine
Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind
London oh London
This London of mine
Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind
