Tim Gerard - London Oh London

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm


I couldn’t hear nothing above the noise at the bar

The girls at the front were hitting it hard

Was at the Monarch, trying to impress

Some A&R Guy, the place was a mess

The Camden crowd, well, they didn’t mind

The sound engineer necked a bottle of wine

Up in those lights I thought I’d arrived

Me and my sunburst J-45


Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm


The queen in your pocket forgives all your crimes

You’re making a mint at the worst times

I can see why it was love at first sight

You're as dark as the river, deep as the night


London oh London

This place I call home

You’re peaches and cream,

You’re bad to the bone

London oh London

This London of mine

Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind


Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm


Booked one last gig to pay for the rent

Took the rush-hour tube down to the Ned

Old Street, Moorgate, Monument, Bank

Had no one to blame and no one to thank

The suits came out to hear all my tunes

While the sun went down on the city of ruins

Drowning in money, nothing to drink

If you won’t listen how can you think


London oh London

I saw in your eyes

You’re ripe as a plum

but you’re rotten inside

London oh London

This London of mine

Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind


Your lipstick's red on your golden crown

Your lovers are lost in the underground

Gonna pack up my troubles and leave you behind

Me and my sunburst J-45


London oh London

I’m dying of thirst

I gave you my best and you gave me your worst

London oh London

This London of mine

Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind


Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm


London oh London

This London of mine

Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind

London oh London

This London of mine

Got the prettiest face and the dirtiest mind
