A G D E
I didn't want to be some satellite clown
D E D E
So I went up to London 'cuase I heard it's falling down
A G D E
Found the Denis the Menace of Little Venice
D E D E
Still digging up the bones of Strummer and Jones
F#m
Revolutionary day were sadly over
A
And a cool profile down Ladbroke Grove
D E
Won't make it no more
D E
You could wake up in a doorway
A D A E
London's brilliant when it's raining
A E D
Everybody's moaning and complaining
A E D A
London's dismal and divine
D E
And I know one day, one day
It's going to be...
F#m
Mine eyes have seen the gory
A
Faces of those bitter men
D E
And their bawdy talk
A
And that's not all
F#m A
Every night before I close my eyes
D
I'd say a prayer to my desires
Hung up on the poster on the wall
Don't let me grow up to fail and fall
E
If I must grow up at all
A G D E
Well the night's got chilly and he swore he'd love me silly
D E D E
But he couldn't raise a spark in the dark in Hyde Park
A G D E
With a bite and a bark, he tried to make his mark
D E D E
Now he's getting fucked silly somewhere in Picadilly
F#m
He said I could be a little Madam in Mayfair
A
But I'd rather wakle up in a doorway somewhere
D E
`Cos in the long run
D E
I'll propably be someone
A D A E
London's brilliant when it's raining
A E D
Everybody's moaning and complaining
A E D A
London's dismal and divine
D E
And I know one day, one day
It's going to be...
