Lyrics Life in London - Live 1980 - Pat Travers

Life in London is bittersweet
Spray can slogans along the street
Some kind of revolution in the town
Razor blades and safety pins make you look like a clown

What′s goin' down
Is just the same old sound
You know that energy
Has always been my drug for me

You know, I came across a lot of water
Just to see, if it could be
The place to go, the life for me
I changed my dollars into pounds
And now that drink is gonna cost me fifty p.

But the District Line just doesn′t seem
To be going as far as I'd like to go today

And I've met a lot of great people
I guess that′s one thing that will never change
People are people wherever you go
Now you wanna know why, it′s cuz I'm telling you so

But I′d like to see, some peace and harmony
Well, everybody thinks differently
But that shouldn't mean a thing
Shouldn′t mean a thing

Pack up my suitcase, I gotta go
Back to a land that I think I know
Bring something with me
Leave something behind
Oh, Life in London's at the back of my mind

But the District Line just doesn′t seem
To be running as far as I'd
Like to go today...
