Get Out Of London Lyrics - Pretenders

Hold tight, one day morning wake up yawning 

Break an egg, bust my head, maybe it's a warning 

Ring on the bell says it's half past eight 

Keys in my tea, hey I'm gonna be late 

I'm walking on the pavement skipping on the lines 

So the bears won't eat me send me to the salt mines 

Get on the bus but the bus don't start 

My feet are sittin' down my head on the tire 

I can't open the window 'cuz there ain't no sun 

I think somebody's tellin' me to get out of London 

My feet's keep movin' and I don't wear any socks 

Can't stop singing, head ting a lingin' 

I like my housetop, I think I hit a phone box 

Makin' coffins out of bits of no woods 

Sellin' tea to the council though I know it's no good to be a trader 

Collaborator, still I rather be a snitch then a cocktail waiter 

Commit my crime now while Im on my probation later 

Okay alright I know I'm doin' wrong but save it till tomorrow 

'Cuz I, get out of London 

Last night I left my car keys I settled in to revers in a night 

Of wed and bliss, I had a bee in my body tiger in my tan 

I was on my maiden voyage spent my night with a saint 

They call me jack of hearts did some one say a name 

My mother was the queen of tarts my baby was a head slave 

Parts sellin' records to the red manufacturer 

I do myself in public just to get on the action turn to my face see my 

Race is run my cars on fire got to get out of London 

Oh you don't wear a suit don't wear a smile 

Don't wear my spikes said I only go the mile keep my hand on my nine 

My eye on my mind keep my heat at feet when I'm racin' 

To the front line change bangs racin' on the bits of afar 

So I rock my body to the sound of the box 

The louder you scream the faster we go 

It's an act of battery a boom, boom, boom hands 

Still fluttering comin' down soon head banger 

Judge thug night of fun slide on my knees 

I got to get out of London park 

Straight as a crow waiting for my treasure at the lottery 

Blues in my pockets rain on the fair the weighs 

Are buildin' blacks on a bit of an air 

Facin' a photo a beauty is there tears on her cheek 

She's livin' a nightmare turn the page to a brand new leaf resolute 

Psycho dude, time to be a z okay we do this tons of times 

Keep out of sync singin' get out of London 

Everybody in the lines stuck waitin' for the tube beg like a puppy dog 

Raise like a hedgehog when you come here 

Let me tell you the truth tell you a wonder why 

They make us look good party 

For my friends so they wouldn't be lonely 

They wouldn't let me in said it's membership only don't worry bout me 

'Cuz I'm doin' fine standin' on my head 

And sittin' on a door mine we get crazy three times a day 

I got to get out of London
