Down To London (Album Version) 歌詞
Down To London - Joe Jackson
Stop - whats that sound
Its the death rattle of this
Rusty old town
Stop - listen again
Its the sound of laughter
All along the thames
Hey - whats my line
Do I have to stay here
Til the end of time
Im - good lookin and bright
I wanna see life after ten at night
So if they ask you where I am
Im in the back of a transit van
In a squat on the earls court road
Gone down to london turning
Coal into gold
Down to london
Down to london
Gone down to london to be the king
Gone down to london to be the king
Hey - whats your name
The boys back home all
Seem to look the same
You - should stick with me
And one of us will make it
Just you see
Stop - whats that sound
Seems like the sixties
Are still swingin around
Hey - can you hear me back there
Or is there anybody left to care
So if you ask me where they are
Theyre hanging tough in a soho bar
Playing guitars in the underground
Gone down to london
Tryin to chase that sound
Down to london
Down to london
Gone down to london to be the king
Gone down to london to be the king
So I ask you should I cry or laugh
Drinking tea in a kings cross caff
A leather jacket against the cold
Gone down to london
Turning coal into gold
Down to london
Down to london
Gone down to london to be the king
Gone down to london to be the king
