London Lyrics - Release - Pet Shop Boys

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 see what 

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 

Tell it like it is

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
