London is grey but it's great in it's way

If you're just barreling through

You find some first class boiler and she

Boils your cares away



Well life is a gas, but the laughs never last

So you add a handful of blues

Now that's a first class ticket if you wanna get away



'Cos if you hang around the greys and brown

They'll just bring you down

Well it's a useless rap you gotta cut the crap go

directly to the things that matter to you



Have to cut corners of fade away

have to cut corners or fade away...



Going through channels in ties and grey flannels

Just slows everything down

And when I want a thing, I want it right away



Going straight for a heart, tears your wardrobe

Apart, butit weara the other guy down

I may look a mess but I'm dressed to get my way



'Cos if you hang around the greys and brown

They'll just bring you down

Well it's a useless rap you gotta cut the crap go

directly to the things that matter to you



Have to cut corners of fade away

have to cut corners or fade away
