London [Video Mix]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
We came from the far north
Summered in Crimea
Deserted the armed forces
Had to disappear
Made it to the free West
On a chartered flight
So we could se what
We trained to fight

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London
Tell it like it is
We were in London
Tell it like it is
(We were in London)

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
Looking for hard work
Or credit card fraud
What do you expect from us?
We come from abroad
To get ourselves a new job
On a building-site
They work you so hard
But we trained to fight

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London
Tell it like it is
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London
Tell it like it is
(Tell it like it is)

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
My father fought in Afghanistan
His widow's pension ain't worth a damn
My mother works and goes home to cry
I want to live before I die

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London
Tell it like it is
We were in London
"Let's do it - let's break the law!"
We were in London
Tell it like it is
We were in London
Tell it like it is
Tell it like, tell it like it is

[Outro]
In a West End Town a dead end world!
You've got a smile on you!
