London
Written by Tennant/Lowe

C Em
We came from the far north, summered in Crimea
C Em
Deserted the armed forces, had to disappear
C Em
Made it to the free West on a charted flight
F Dm G
So we could see what we trained to fight
C Em/B Am G
We were in London, let’s do it - let’s break the law
F Em Dm G
We were in London, tell it like it is
F Em Dm G
We were in London, tell it like it is
C
We were in London
Looking for hard work or credit card fraud
What did you expect from us? We came 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
Am Em/B Dm
My father fought in Afghanistan
G Am
His widow’s pension ain’t worth a ***
Em/B Dm
My mother works and goes home to cry
G
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, let’s do it - let’s break the law
We were in London, tell it like it is
