Cutting Corners

London is grey

But it's great in it's way, If you're just barrelling through

You find some first class boiler

And she boils your cares away

Now life is a gas, but the laughs never last,

So you add a handful of blues

And that's a first class ticket if you wanna get away

'Cause 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, Have to cut corners or fade away,You know you 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

I may look a mess but I'm dressed to get my way

'Cos if you hanging around the greys and browns,

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

"London town is pourin' in the rain

And there's nothin' you can do to ease the pain

So you take a ferry over to France

You cant understand a bloody word they say

So you think sod it I'll ignore these bleedin' foreigners

Then some jobsworth says

"I'm teribly sorry sir but you cannot do that unless you go through proper channels"

And I say

Leave it out mate gimme the keys and I'll drive it home meself"
