Going to London
I’ve never picked a pansy
Up at Brick Lane
Or spent a lazy Sunday on the Heath
My camera never sucked the souls of schoolgirls
I may have said it but was lying through my teeth
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
I was no intruder at your Palace
Strolling round the grounds in a gale
I was never scared of being a failure
I never started anything I’d fail
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
So there you are in a thoroughfare
They like to call a garden
Sending postcards you hope will be pardoned
To a figure you created
And on your return the whole town will weep
And the sweetheart you left will have waited
And on your return the whole town will weep
And the sweetheart you left will have waited
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
And all of the records that I bought
I never took the blows I didn’t grow up on the street
I hid behind the hedgerows cos I couldn’t stand the heat
I Lied I lied I never even tried
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to Londo
I’ve never picked a pansy
Up at Brick Lane
Or spent a lazy Sunday on the Heath
My camera never sucked the souls of schoolgirls
I may have said it but was lying through my teeth
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
I was no intruder at your Palace
Strolling round the grounds in a gale
I was never scared of being a failure
I never started anything I’d fail
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
So there you are in a thoroughfare
They like to call a garden
Sending postcards you hope will be pardoned
To a figure you created
And on your return the whole town will weep
And the sweetheart you left will have waited
And on your return the whole town will weep
And the sweetheart you left will have waited
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
And all of the records that I bought
I never took the blows I didn’t grow up on the street
I hid behind the hedgerows cos I couldn’t stand the heat
I Lied I lied I never even tried
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to London
That list that you made is redundant
I lied about going to Londo
