Original Source: | LyricWiki |
Stop - what's that sound It's the death rattle of this rusty old town Stop - listen again It's the sound of laughter all along the Thames Hey - what's my line Do I have to stay here 'til the end of time I'm - good lookin' and bright I wanna see life after ten at night So if they ask you where I am I'm in the back of a Transit Van In a squat on the Earls Court Road Gone down to London turning coal into gold Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King Hey - what's your name The boys back home all seem to look the same You - should stick with me and one of us will make it, just you see Stop - what's that sound Seems like the sixties are still swingin' around Hey - can you hear me back there or is there anybody left to care So if you ask me where they are They're hanging tough in a Soho bar Playing guitars in the Underground Gone down to London tryin' to chase that sound Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King So I ask you should I cry or laugh Drinking tea in a Kings Cross Caff A leather jacket against the cold Gone down to London turning coal into gold Down to London - Down to London Gone down to London to be the King |
