London is grey but it's great in it's way
If you're just barreling through
You find some first class boiler and she
Boils your cares away
Well life is a gas, but the laughs never last
So you add a handful of blues
Now that's a first class ticket if you wanna get away
'Cos if you hang around the greys and brown
They'll just bring you down
Well it's a useless rap you gotta cut the crap go
directly to the things that matter to you
Have to cut corners of fade away
have to cut corners or fade away...
Going through channels in ties and grey flannels
Just slows everything down
And when I want a thing, I want it right away
Going straight for a heart, tears your wardrobe
Apart, butit weara the other guy down
I may look a mess but I'm dressed to get my way
'Cos if you hang around the greys and brown
They'll just bring you down
Well it's a useless rap you gotta cut the crap go
directly to the things that matter to you
Have to cut corners of fade away
have to cut corners or fade away
