Pet Shop Boys - London lyrics

We came from the far North summered in Crimea deserted the armed forces had to disappear made it to the free West on a chartered flight so we could see what we trained to fight
We were in London


"Let's do it - let's break the law'."

We were in London

Tell it like it is

We were in London

Tell it like it is

Looking for hard work or credit card fraud What do you expect from us? We come from abroad to get ourselves a new job on a building-site They work you so hard but we trained to fight

We were in London "Let's do it - let's break the law!" We were in London Tell it like it is

We were in London "Let's do it - let's break the law!" We were in London Tell it like it is

My father fought in Afghanistan

His widow's pension ain't worth a damn

My mother works and goes home to cry

I want to live before I die

We were in London

"Let's do it - let's break the law!"

We were in London

Tell it like it is

We were in London

Tell it like it is
