London (2012 Olympic Gold Mix)

lyrics

LONDON

I follow coastline down the shore, from Southend round to Grays,
Up the River Thames I go, but London’s gone today
Survived the Plague, and Great Fire, kept Spirit of an age,
Now the whole of Europe’s open and it’s coming for a wage.

Please, please, tell me where has London gone?
No more Pearly Kings and Cockney songs.
Inner City Chaos, all gone wrong.

This defiant London, that I’ve heard so much about
Has now been pulled to pieces and destroyed there aint no doubt Where the young and old, are afraid to go out alone at night And the pubs are closing down and boarded up without a fight.

This rebuilt City’s souless now, the character has gone,
Plate glass windows, girders and mcdonalds signs look wrong, In a city where the architecture’s 18th century,
And a council planners back hander rebuilds our history.
