London Song
Kinks

There’s a room in a house in a street in a manor in a boroughThat’s part of a city that is generally referred to as londonIt’s a dark place, a mysterious placeAnd it is said that if you’re born within the sound of bow-bellsYou have the necessary qualifications to be christened a londoner[it’s a cruel place, it’s a hard place]But when you think back to all the great londonersWilliam blake, charles dickens, dick whittington,Pearly kings, barrow boys, arthur daley, max wallAnd don’t forget the kray twinsBut if you’re ever up on highgate hill on a clear dayYou can see right down to leicester square [london, london]Crystal palace, clapham common, right down to streatham hillNorth and south, I feel that I’m a londoner still [london, london]Chiswick bridge to newham and east hamChurchbells ring out through the landYou were born in london, england[london, london, through the dark alley-ways and passages of london]And there’s a tap by a reservoir, leading to a stream,That turns into a river estuary that eventually opens to the sea[london, london]And there’s a docker by a wharf, sending cargo overseas,Unloading foreign trade from a large ocean vesselIn the mighty metropolitan port of london[london, london, through the dark alley-ways and passages of london]When I think of all the londoners still unsungEast-enders, west-enders, oriental-endersFu manchu, sherlock holmes, jack spock, henry cooper,Thomas a’becket, thomas moore, and don’t forget the kray twinsThere’s a part of me that says get outThen one day I’ll hear somebody shoutSounds to me like you come from london townBut if you’re ever up on highgate hill on a clear day,I’ll be there [I’ll be there]Yes I will be there [there]Through the dark alley-ways and passages of london, londonLondon, london, through the dark alley-ways and passages of london, londonLondon, london, through the dark alley-ways and passages of london, london
