I've been to London, I know what it's like Just keep your head down and you, you live your life The worlds a circle with a cross inside We're one big target Wake up It's time to die Got a tiny flat for the price of a castle Damp on the walls. Just a sink in the bathroom The roads less travelled Full of danger and mystery Well, the roads most travelled are Quite often touristy Food so good that it's almost sickening Check out the Museum of Natural History Go and see a show at the fashionable West End You pick the right one You might see a legend Go and have some laughter at the comedy store Have a drink in Soho if you want to be bored Travel on the tube if you're going far Save a bit of money with an Oyster card! I've been to London, I know what it's like Just keep your head down and you, you live your life The worlds a circle with a cross inside We're one big target Wake up It's time to die Yo! Yo! It's outbred disease, grown immune to fire They stamp down the dead while the buildings get higher You call me a taxi I'll call you a liar If you think your journey's worth a single penny to the buyer A scar of tiny tumours, a recursive perpendicular The cattle runs to bolt guns on the North Circular A life spent in orbit. A treadmill, sugar-coated And every place you think you have to be is unimportant Mass unemployment and class disappointment equals Metaphysical education rollin' station to station as you run out of patience in the mud Trash, rot and heavy water, cause the Thames is full of blood and the mayor's a fuckin' rotter I've been to London, I know what it's like Just keep your head down and you, you live your life The worlds a circle with a cross inside We're one big target Wake up It's time to die Neo-pagans are cut-rate Fagin's holdin' stay-ins in the shape of pretty vacants Who display no affectations of abatin', hatin' the waste taste the position their parents paid Prayed, faked and raped to obtain them While a network of agents choke down libations Reptilian inclinations awaiting their transformation 'Cause outside the water's raising to wash away foundations to leave you drowning and waving We're just bait for the next stage in the manifestation of the hex, sex and death of the pyramid x-ray The Centre Point death ray Comets smear the blackened sky and where are heroes Not here, no no just Nero fat Ground Zero fiddling as the shuttle hits One last gasp, as you surpass the last of the rat pack and the hooks in your back slowly take up the slack You return to the ocean, swim free at all corners of the map, tow it out to sea and scuttle it I've lived in London, I know what it's like You keep your head down and avoid the signs The worlds a circle with a cross inside One target market. Pay up! It's time to buy Picked up and cut up in an unlicensed taxi Can't afford the rent so you're selling your jacksy See where the Queen lives and spends your taxes Try an East End pub, see how a gangster relaxes Mugged by a man who calls himself Guvnor Is he a wanker? No, he's a Londoner The kings by the river gonna loot your future The kings by the river gonna loot your future The kings by the river gonna loot your future The kings by the river gonna loot your future
