lyrics

IN LONDON TOWN

Johnny lives by the river overlooking tower bridge
In a flat  worth several million  he contemplates the day ahead
Works all day with peoples money creating wealth beyond your dreams
Like a miner underground he can find the richest seams

A million miles away lives Mary in a high rise in the sky
Two children and no money yet she manages to get by
On a pay day loan with interest enough to make young johnny rich
Oh its hard to find the common ground the cotton to sew the stitch

In London Town in London Town 
where Mary lives in London town 
For Johnny too no common ground 
In London Town in London Town

Hamed fled from a country torn apart by foreign war
came in search of hope and glory a better life for sure 
made his way across the med through Italy and France 
At the Calais Dover ferry hitched a ride and took his chance

Meanwhile saskia bought a hotel a football club and more 
Hammed works for him for pennies  hes got  billions laid offshore 
with a big house in the city  he joined the Lords of the earth
Oh its hard to keep a tally man Oh god knows what hes worth 

In London Town in London Town 
Where saskia lives in London Town 
For mohammed too no common ground 
In London Town in London Town
