lyrics

Before you find yourself in London town
Make sure you fill your pockets full of pennies
If you’re down on your luck then you won’t be seeing many open arms around
There in London town.

If you find yourself in London town
Don’t go following smiling strangers to the toilet
Oh the first ones free after then you’re gonna buy it
It’s a slow road down into in London town

If you want to live in London town
Best forget those smiling Northern faces
Don’t expect any warmth from people or from places
You learn to hold your ground lest you be homeward bound

Ere you find yourself in London town
Keep your hands stuck deep inside your jacket
Or you’ll find yourself with nothing in your pockets
Where the thieves abound you’ll see London town.

Far from the heathen winds
Lay ghost the jagged fens
Where ambition starves in the hearts of them
That accept the terms under any means necessary

If you find yourself in London town
Don’t mistake the coke for conversation
Don’t mistake the smoke for celebration
They’re just words thrown around
Nights out in London town

Far from the heathen winds
Lay ghost the jagged fens
Where ambition starves in the hearts of them
That accept the terms under any means necessary

If you find yourself in London town
Make sure you stay in contact with your mammy
Keep your heart at home and in photographs you carry
And leave some bread crumbs down
From home to London town.
