The London boys Lyrics - David Bowie


1 Bow Bells strike another night

2 Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache

3 You've bought some coffee, butter and bread

4 You can't make a thing cause the meter's dead

5 You moved away

6 Told your folks you're gonna stay away


7 Bright lights, Soho, Wardour street

8 You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet

9 Somebody shows you round

10 Now you've met the London boys

11 Things seem good again, someone cares about you


12 Oh, the first time that you tried a pill

13 You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill

14 You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose faith

15 To let yourself down would be a big disgrace

16 With the London boys, with the London boys


17 You're only seventeen, but you think you've grown

18 In the month you've been away from your parents' home

19 You take the pills too much

20 You don't give a damn about that jobs you've got

21 So long as you're with the London boys


22 A London boy, oh a London boy

23 Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy

24 A London boy, a London boy

25 You think you've had a lot of fun

26 But you ain't got nothing, you're on the run

27 It's too late now, cause you're out there boy

28 You've got it made with the rest of the toys

29 Now you wish you'd never left your home

30 You've got what you wanted but you're on your own

31 With the London boys


32 Now you've met the London boys

33 Now you've met the London boys

34 Now you've met the London boys
