Down to London — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Stop - whats that sound

Its the death rattle of this rusty old town

Stop - listen again

Its the sound of laughter all along the thames



Hey - whats my line

Do I have to stay here til the end of time

Im - good lookin and bright

I wanna see life after ten at night



So if they ask you where I am

Im in the back of a transit van

In a squat on the earls court road

Gone down to london turning coal into gold

Down to london - down to london

Gone down to london to be the king



Hey - whats your name

The boys back home all seem to look the same

You - should stick with me

And one of us will make it, just you see



Stop - whats that sound

Seems like the sixties are still swingin around

Hey - can you hear me back there

Or is there anybody left to care



So if you ask me where they are

Theyre hanging tough in a soho bar

Playing guitars in the underground

Gone down to london tryin to chase that sound

Down to london - down to london

Gone down to london to be the king



So I ask you should I cry or laugh

Drinking tea in a kings cross caff

A leather jacket against the cold

Gone down to london turning coal into gold

Down to london - down to london

Gone down to london to be the king
