London! Lyrics

Upside down to Italy
and then again, England.
London, you're not my friend, but you can be.

Springtime, but no trace of it
here in London.
I wear my cloak like Sherlock Holmes,
if you remember him.

"Don't you worry, love,"
"Let me help you, love,"
"There you go, love"
All this "Brilliant, love!"
"Will you excuse me, love?"
There you go again...

London!
The way you hate me is better than love
and I'm head over heels
London!
The way you want to get rid of me
makes me weak in the knees.

You think you don't care about me...
You're wrong!
If I disturb you, what about it?
You keep me hanging on
to life, to life...

You showed me a book
About the New British Dandy:
Beautiful boys in exquisite fabrics; Oh
I ate it like candy
and brushed my teeth
in whitening bleach.

Oh, I wanna be like them!
I don't care if they are men;
I wanna be rich, I wanna be fine and dandy!
In a townhouse in London,
with art on the walls, and memberships
in clubs for gentlemen...

Listen to the pipes--
They're singing in the night,
It's raining all the time.
Listen to, listen to,
Listen to the pipes...

in London!
The way you hate me is better than love
and I'm head over heels
London!
The way you want to get rid of me
makes me weak in the knees.
London!
The way you hate me is better than love
and I'm head over heels
London!
The way you want to get rid of me
makes me weak in the knees...
