Down On London Lyrics - Wildhearts

hi! I feel low, like I just don't know which way to go 

it's a game, it's a play, and it's waiting to blow any day 

'cos I want it, need it, shit it and breathe it 

breaking the thorn in my side 

with the hollow views and the last week's news 

I'm inclined to be blind out of something to do 

CHORUS: 

in the 

town - I never get enough of it 

town - I only get too much of it 

town - I'm falling out of love with it 

the price goes up, the lives go down, I'm so sick of London town 

cold to the bone, and I still don't know which way is home 

and the chains keep me tied to the parasite city of lies 

to the fakers, mimers, two-feet climbers, let's drink a toast to the town 

when the stories rebound try to hold me down, you 

make me thankful for who I am 

CHORUS 

I used to hear them blowing up the radio, I'd hear the music and I'd go to see the show 

it don't mean much to me, all the same 

like I'm standing in the crowd with only myself to blame 

yeah, should I go for the throat? 

or just wade through the quicksand? 

of this rock in the wasteland 

instead of sleazing around being a Guns n' Rose 

while they're choking on whiskey to complete the pose 

where'd the good times go? 

CHORUS 

CHORUS 

London town x3 

town London town, London town, London town (x3)
