Sights and Sounds of London Town

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh Gillian, she's a Doncaster lass Trains it down on the quarter past Friday night leaves the kids at home And struts her stuff on the Euston Road [Pre-Chorus] Saying "Do you want some company darling? Do you want some company now? My place, your place or no place I could use the extra cash anyhow" [Chorus] That's the sights and sounds of London Town The sights and sounds of London Town The sights and sounds of London Town [Verse 2] Oh Jean-Paul, he come over from Toulouse They told him that London was the golden goose Never got his hands on enough to eat He never did get his arse up off the street Wanted to be a rap DJ They took his pulse then they turned him away Under the radar of your fellow man With all that charisma it ain't worth a damn [Pre-Chorus] Saying "Lend me your shoes till Monday Oh brother can you lend me a comb I can wash dishes all night long I just need my fare back home" [Chorus] That's the sights and sounds of London Town The sights and sounds of London Town The sights and sounds of London Town [Verse 3] Well Jackie, she tried just about everything She tried to dance, she tried to sing Too many doors slammed in your face It leaves a nasty aftertaste You scramble around for a little bit of cash Ease the pain with Mister Flash Saint Annes Court is the rendezvous For those who share your point of view [Pre-Chorus] Saying "This is the last time you will see me Never again, no way One more time, I'll never ask you again I've just got to get through today" [Chorus] Well that's the sights and sounds of London Town The sights and sounds of London Town The sights and sounds of London Town [Verse 4] Oh Mickey, he sleeps every two or three days Runs through Soho like a rat through a maze A little blackmail here, a sting on the side Enough to get started on the next enterprise Dresses expensive but that's just a crutch Like his word or his handshake, it doesn't mean much Depends on his kickback from the middle man And whatever he can beat out of Sally Ann [Pre-Chorus] Saying "Lucky I'm the one you ran into Oh lucky I've taken a shine Lucky I'm needing a partner Fifty-fifty right down the line" [Chorus] Oh that's the sights and sounds of London Town The sights and sounds of London Town The sight and sounds of London Town
