London is grey but it's great in its way
If you're just barrelling 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 hand around the greys and brown
They'll just bring you down
Well, it's useless rap, you gotta cut the crap
Go directly to the things that matter to you

** Have to cut corners or 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 the heart, tears your
wardrobe apart
But it wears the other guy down
I may look a mess but I'm dressed to get my
way

(* Repeat)

(** Repeat twice)
