Lyrics Pat Travers

Pat Travers

Life In London

Life in London is bittersweet

Spray can slogans along the street

Some kind of revolution in the town

Razor blades and safety pins make you look like a clown

What's goin' down

Is just the same old sound

You know that energy

Has always been my drug for me

You know, I came across a lot of water

Just to see, if it could be

The place to go, the life for me

I changed my dollars into pounds

And now that drink is gonna cost me fifty p

But the District Line just doesn't seem

To be going as far as I'd like to go today

And I've met a lot of great people

I guess that's one thing that will never change

People are people wherever you go

Now you wanna know why, it's cuz I'm telling you so

But I'd like to see, some peace and harmony

Well, everybody thinks differently

But that shouldn't mean a thing

Shouldn't mean a thing

Pack up my suitcase, I gotta go

Back to a land that I think I know

Bring something with me

Leave something behind

Oh, Life in London's at the back of my mind

But the District Line just doesn't seem

To be running as far as I'd

Like to go today
