Pet Shop Boys - London lyrics
[Pet Shop Boys - London lyrics]
We came from the far north
Summered in Crimea deserted the armed forces
Had to disappear made it to the free West
On a chartered flight so we could se what
We trained to fight
Looking for hard work or credit card fraud
What do you expect from us?
We come from abroad
To get ourselves a new job
On a building-site they work you so hard
But we trained to fight
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London tell it like it is
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London tell it like it is
My father fought in Afghanistan
His widow's pension ain't worth a damn
My mother works and goes home to cry
I want to live before I die
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London tell it like it is
We were in London tell it like it is
Summered in Crimea deserted the armed forces
Had to disappear made it to the free West
On a chartered flight so we could se what
We trained to fight
Looking for hard work or credit card fraud
What do you expect from us?
We come from abroad
To get ourselves a new job
On a building-site they work you so hard
But we trained to fight
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London tell it like it is
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London tell it like it is
My father fought in Afghanistan
His widow's pension ain't worth a damn
My mother works and goes home to cry
I want to live before I die
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London tell it like it is
We were in London tell it like it is
