London song Lyricsby kinks Buy album CD: Other Songs 7 - TH There's a room in a house in a street in a manor in a borough That's part of a city that is generally referred to as london It's a dark place, a mysterious place And it is said that if you're born within the sound of bow-bells You 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 londoners William blake, charles dickens, dick whittington, Pearly kings, barrow boys, arthur daley, max wall And don't forget the kray twins But if you're ever up on highgate hill on a clear day You can see right down to leicester square [london, london] Crystal palace, clapham common, right down to streatham hill North and south, I feel that I'm a londoner still [london, london] Chiswick bridge to newham and east ham Churchbells ring out through the land You 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 vessel In 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 unsung East-enders, west-enders, oriental-enders Fu manchu, sherlock holmes, jack spock, henry cooper, Thomas a'becket, thomas moore, and don't forget the kray twins There's a part of me that says "get out" Then one day I'll hear somebody shout "sounds to me like you come from london town" But 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, london London, london, through the dark alley-ways and passages of london, london London, london, through the dark alley-ways and passages of london, london
