London Bye Ta Ta by David Bowie

London Bye Ta Ta Lyrics
[Chorus]
London, bye, ta-ta
Strange young town
London, bye, ta-ta
Brought me down
Don't like your new face
That's not nice
Got to go far, far
London, bye, ta-ta
[Verse 1]
Gee, gee, gee, gee
Take me away
Gee, gee, gee, gee
Take me today
The poets in the clothes shop
Sold me curry for a pound
His cardboard faith is soggy
And he's selling thorny crowns
[Pre-Chorus]
I loved her
I loved her
I've got to get away now
But I loved her
[Chorus]
London, bye, ta-ta
Strange young town
London, bye, ta-ta
Brought me down
Don't like your new face
That's not nice
Got to go far, far
London, bye ta-ta
[Verse 2]
Red light, green light
Make up your mind
Red light, green light
You're much too unkind
She loves to love all beauty
And she says the norm is funny
But she whimpers in the morning
When she finds she has no money
[Pre-Chorus]
I loved her
I loved her
I've got to get away now
But I loved her
Ah!
[Chorus]
London, bye, ta-ta
Strange young town
London, bye, ta-ta
Brought me down
Don't like your new face
That's not nice
Got to go far, far
London, bye, ta-ta
[Chorus]
Oh, London, bye ta-ta
Strange young town
London, bye ta-ta
Brought me down
Don't like your new face
That's not nice
Got to go far, far
London, bye, ta-ta
[Outro]
Oh, London, bye, ta-ta
Oh, London, bye, ta-ta
Oh, yeah
