Riding through the city on my bike all day 

Cause the filth took away my licence 

It doesn't get me down and I feel ok 

Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless 



Everything seems to look as it should 

But I wonder what goes on behind doors 

A fella looking dapper, but he's sittin with a slapper 

Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore 



You might laugh you might frown 

Walkin' round London town 



* Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ? 

Would I wanna be anywhere else 

Sun is in the sky oh why oh why ? 

Would I wanna be anywhere else 



** When you look with your eyes 

Everything seems nice 

But if you look twice 

you can see it's all lies 



There was a little old lady, who was walkin down the road 

She was struggling with bags from Tesco 

There were people from the city havin lunch in the park 

I believe that it's called al fresco 

Then a kid came along to offer a hand 



But before she had time to accept it 

hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead 

Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet 



You might laugh you might frown 

walkin round London town 



[Repeat * , **]



Life, that's city life, yeah that's city life, that's city life 

Life, that's city life, yeah that's city life, that's city life 



[Repeat * , * , * , *]
