Song | Down To London |
Artist | Joe Jackson |
Album | The Very Best Of |
作词 : Jackson | |
Stop - what's that sound | |
It's the death rattle of this rusty old town | |
Stop - listen again | |
It's the sound of laughter all along the thames | |
Hey - what's my line | |
Do i have to stay here 'til the end of time | |
I'm - good lookin' and bright | |
I wanna see life after ten at night | |
So if they ask you where i am | |
I'm in the back of a transit van | |
In a squat on the earls court road | |
Gone down to london turning coal into gold | |
Down to london - down to london | |
Gone down to london to be the king | |
Hey - what's your name | |
The boys back home all seem to look the same | |
You - should stick with me | |
And one of us will make it, just you see | |
Stop - what's that sound | |
Seems like the sixties are still swingin' around | |
Hey - can you hear me back there | |
Or is there anybody left to care | |
So if you ask me where they are | |
They're hanging tough in a soho bar | |
Playing guitars in the underground | |
Gone down to london tryin' to chase that sound | |
Down to london - down to london | |
Gone down to london to be the king | |
So i ask you should i cry or laugh | |
Drinking tea in a kings cross caff | |
A leather jacket against the cold | |
Gone down to london turning coal into gold | |
Down to london - down to london | |
Gone down to london to be the king |
