I heard the grass was greener
On the other side
So I got on a plane off I went
To see what I could find
With a couple of grand and no certain plans
I was off to discover another land
But little did I know that wherever I'd go
I'd still rather be in my home town
London!
It's where I'm from
It's London!
It's where I belong
It's London!
It's a part of me
And London belongs to me
Laying there on Bondi Beach
Thinking about Southend on sea
Sunday night down the Elephant's Head
Or a secret Sparrer bridgehouse gig
Match day pint down at The Queens
Or Carnaby Street skinhead meet
There's no place on Earth I'd rather be
Than back home in old Blighty
London!
It's where I'm from
It's London!
It's where I belong
It's London!
It's a part of me
And London belongs to me
A few months have passed and the novelty's gone
I'd do anything to be back in the sun
It's been it down and my job's gone to
Don't know how much longer I can deal with it
Prices too high, wages too low
And I'm still stuck here on mile end road
But there is one thing that brings a smile to my face
Knowing that I found my place
London!
It's where I'm from
It's London!
It's where I belong
It's London!
It's a part of me
And London belongs to me
London!
It's where I'm from
It's London!
It's where I belong
It's London!
It's a part of me
And London belongs to me
