London's Brilliant

I didn't want to be some satellite clown So I went up to London cause I heard it's falling down Found the Dennis the Menace of Little Venice Still digging up the bones of Strummer and Jones Revolutionary days were sadly over And a cool profile down Ladbroke Grove Won't make it no more You could wake up in a doorway London's brilliant when it's raining Everybody's moaning and complaining London's dismal and divine And I know one day, one day (One day, one day) It's going to be Mine eyes have seen the gory faces of those bitter men And their bawdy talk And that's not all Every night before I closed my eyes I'd say a prayer to my desires Hung up on a poster on a wall Don't let me grow up to fail and fall If I must grow up at all Well the night's got chilly and he swore he'd love me silly But he couldn't raise a spark in the dark in Hyde Park With a bite and a bark, he tried to make his mark Now he's getting fucked silly somewhere in Piccadilly He said I could be a little Madam in Mayfair But I'd rather wake up in a doorway somewhere Cause in the long run I'll probably be someone London's brilliant when it's raining Everybody's moaning and complaining London's dismal and divine And I know one day, one day (One day, one day) It's going to be mine (One day, one day) It's going to be mine (One day, one day, one day) London's brilliant!
