We were down and out in London Sharing beds and sharing money But we were satisfied With our hot milk and honey For the young and beautiful Live a life with no regrets So let's toast to a short lived love And drink to all the rest I'm not gonna follow You to the ground Darling I'm leaving This dreary town I'm not gonna follow you to the ground When there's greener pastures Waiting to be found You looked with eyes that knew me Mine were the same for you I'd seen you from the start And the changes you'd gone through When there's not that you could hide I could see straight through your act And there's not that can be done About things said in the past I'm not gonna follow You to the ground Darling I'm leaving This dreary town I'm not gonna follow you to the ground When there's greener pastures Waiting to be found No I'm not gonna follow You to the ground Darling I'm leaving This dreary town I'm not gonna follow you to the ground When there's greener pastures Waiting to be found
