London`s Brilliant (*) Lyrics

London`s Brilliant (*) lyrics

I didn't want to be some satellite clown

 So I went up to London 'cos I heard it's falling down

 Found the Dennis the Menace of Little Venice

 Still digging up the bones of Strummer and Jones

 Revolutionary days were sadly over

 And a cool profile down Ladbroke Grove

 Won't make it no more

 You could wake up in a doorway

 

 London's brilliant when it's raining

 Everbody's moaning and complaining

 London's dismal and divine

 And I know one day, one day...one day, one day

 It's going to be...

 

 mine eyes have seen the gory faces of those bitter men

         and their bawdy talk

 And that's not all

 Every night before I closed my eyes

 I'd say a prayer to my desires

 Hung up on a poster on a wall

 Don't let me grow up to fail and fall

 If I must grow up at all

 

 Well the night's got chilly and he swore he'd

         love me silly

 But he couldn't raise a spark in the dark in Hyde Park

 With a bite and a bark, he tried to make his mark

 Now he's getting fucked silly somewhere in Piccadilly

 He said I could be a little Madam in Mayfair

 But I'd rather wake up in a doorway somewhere

 'Cos in the long run

 I'll probably be someone

 

 London's brilliant when it's raining

 Everbody's moaning and complaining

 London's dismal and divine

 And I know one day, one day...one day, one day

 It's going to be...

 London's brilliant!
