London Girl

Do you know what you're looking for?

Streets of gold, fame and fortune?

You didn't fancy working in a factory

But your Mum and Dad didn't agree.

You slept in Waterloo Station at first

But now you've moved to a posher squat

You wonder where your next meal will come from

Still, it's better than living at home.

You're looking tired 'cause it's been three weeks

Since you changed your clothes or washed your feet

But you're learning fast all the time

How to cadge cigarettes and pills.

I don't condemn what you've done

I know what it is to be young

You're only searching for toaday

To see the answers about yesterday.

And I hope you find.
