I don’t wanna go to Chelsea

Or die in a squat in Camden

Sweep the concrete clean in Fenchurch Street

Beneath the Tower of London.

Yes, this is London Town

Where I book my pitch on the Underground

Screaming ‘Suicide’;

Wipe the dust from my eyes.

Battersea Rise.

Wembley, Queens Park, Maida Vale?

Give that gentleman a tug on your pony tail

Tell him ‘Turn this tube round the other way’

Hey we don’t wanna go to Maida Vale, no.

We don’t wanna go to Chelsea

Or die in a squat in Camden,

Keep the concrete clean beneath our feet

For the Mayor of London.

Yes, this is London Town

Where we book our pitch on the Underground

Howling ‘Suicide’

Wipe the dust from our eyes…

Battersea Rise.

If you feel fine then I feel fine

Take a walk thru’ time

With a bottle of wine

Wipe the dust from my eyes

And meet me at the Junction…

2^nd time:

Wipe the dust from our eyes

We’ll see you at the Junction.
