Swinging London Town

About Swinging London Town

"Swinging London Town" is a song by British all-female pop group Girls Aloud, taken from their third studio album Chemistry (2005). The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Tim Powell, and Matt Gray, and produced by Higgins and Xenomania. "Swinging London Town" both chronicles and ridicules the lives of the upper class in London, particularly yuppies, socialites and It girls. Influenced by techno, the synth-pop song drew comparisons to Giorgio Moroder and Pet Shop Boys. Contemporary music critics praised "Swinging London Town" for Xenomania's creative and skilled production, while some reviewers noted the irony of Girls Aloud singing the song's lyrics. In 2012, fans voted for "Swinging London Town" to be included on the second disc to the deluxe edition of their greatest hits album Ten. more »

Do you know the need to wakes,
he see's the love wear in her eyes 
The it girl or the twist girl, 
and no-one realizes that I'm living on a tightrope 
I can't, won't look down, 
I pussyfoot from tree to tree in swinging London town 

Do you know the be to way to places, faces I've never seen 
The mother of all hangovers, to remind me where I've been 
And if I stop, I'm sickened, it really gets me down 
So I step back into the city lights, the Queen of London town 
It's the Queen of London town, it's the Queen of London town 

If you're playing the flying cards of Paris and Milan 
Hold up, I'm a rich girl, destiny of big chien 
I'm still big time rich girl, at first I was big time all the weed 
Now going down the slide to rehab, and all the beer for free 
And if we choke, then they will eat us, Martini swinging job 
Chicken lovers, soothing all us, hanging out their arms 
And now I'm neck deep in it, I'm starting to drown 
Along with all the wannabes in swinging London town 

Do you know me? 
Do you know me? 
Do you know me? 
Really, really know me? 
Do you know me? 
Do you know me? 
Do you know me? 
Really, really know me 
Do you know me? 
Really, really know me? 

So so, drink, can't party, free flowing bubbly, a drop of gin 
Cocktails with price tags make you choke on your sushi 
Dressed to impress these bright young things 
Chelsea chicks, drink white wine spritzers 
G and T's all roll over me, holy hankies cruising the kings role 
In Daddy's bed there's still full of gee 

Gee, gee, gee, gee 
Gee, gee, gee, gee 

You know you need to face the places, the pages overload 
Try hard to die hard, united on the goal 
And listen eligible bachelors, trust from Daddy's boys 
International playgirl's show off their top half 
Nicola 
All these price tags starlets, galaxy of stars 
Voicing round the next big thing, and jumping off their cars 
I guess I'm neck deep it, I'm starting to drown 
Along with all the wannabe's in swinging London town 

In swinging London town 
In swinging London town 
In swinging London town
