[Verse 1]
Used to go to service on a Sunday (Whaa)
Eat and drink our lives away til 3
Stay out late at night without a worry (Whaa)
Those were the days I felt safe, young and free
[Chorus]
Now the devil's in the street
We're desperate to escape the dark (Whaa)
Not like it used to be
But you’ll always find love in my heart for London
For London (Whaa)
[Verse 2]
I read something in the news about global warming (Whaa)
That this city's feeling colder everyday (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And now the tension’s overflowing on the underground (Whaa)
It's like the spirit of my city's gone away
[Chorus]
'Cause the devil’s in the street (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
We're desperate to escape the dark (Whaa)
Not like we used to be (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
But you’ll always find love in my heart for London
For London (Whaa)
[Bridge]
Yeah, you know we've got love for London always (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
Even though the sun doesn't shine on us, no (Whaa)
We're never giving up, never giving up (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
Yeah, you know we’ve got love for London always (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
Even though the sun doesn't shine on us, no (Whaa)
We're never giving up, never giving up (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Now the devil’s in the street
We’re desperate to escape the dark
Not like it used to be
But you’ll always find love in my heart for London
For London, oh
'Cause the devil's in the street (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
We're desperate to escape the dark (Whaa)
Not like we used to be (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
But you’ll always find love in my heart for London (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
For London (Whaa)
[Outro]
Yeah, you know we've got love for London always (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
Even though the sun doesn't shine on us, no
We're never giving up, never giving up (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
Yeah, you know we've got love for London always (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
Even though the sun doesn't shine on us, no
We're never giving up, never giving up (Ooh-oh, ooh-oh, oh)
