[Verse 1]
Bangla noise on Brick Lane
That’s the sound of my home
"Ay mamí, qué haces?"
Lovers walk Old Kent Road
When you’re blinded by lights
You find ways to survive in Big Smoke
Holding down 9 to 5
And your weekends are spent
Loading up with the boys
With the bottle and benz
Only way to cope
'Cause this city don’t stop for no one
[Chorus]
Hopeless
Roaming around in the moment
Streets that are tailored to no one
But that’s what makes London mine
Hopeless
Lost in the fear of the open
A world that appears to be broken
But that’s what makes London mine
[Verse 2]
Orange haze from street lights
Down Madeira I go
I’ve been fooled by the charm
Of the Kennington Road
While the backstreet drama
Don’t get picked up by The Sun
[Chorus]
Hopeless
Roaming around in the moment
Streets that are tailored to no one
But that’s what makes London mine
Hopeless
Lost in the fear of the open
A world that appears to be broken
But that’s what makes London mine
[Bridge]
I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna give you up
No, I'm never gonna give you up
Even if
[Chorus]
I'm hopeless
Roaming around in the moment
Streets that are tailored to no one
But that’s what makes London mine
Hopeless
Lost in the fear of the open
A world that appears to be broken
But that’s what makes London mine
[Outro]
Oh no, no, that's what makes mine
Oh no, no, that's what makes mine
Oh no, no, that's what makes mine
Oh no, no, that's what makes mine
Oh no, no, that's what makes mine
Oh no, no, that's what makes mine
Oh no, no, that's what makes mine
Oh no, no, that's what makes mine
