0:08Stop what's that sound
0:12Its the death rattle of this rusty old town
0:15Stop listen again
0:19Its the sound of laughter all along the thames
0:27Hey what's my line
0:31Do I have to stay here til the end of time
0:35I'm good lookin and bright
0:38I wanna see life after ten at night
0:45So if they ask you where I am
0:50I'm in the back of a transit van
0:54In a squat on the earls court road
0:58Gone down to london turning coal into gold
1:03Down to london down to london
1:09Gone down to london to be the king
1:17Gone down to london to be the king
1:36Hey what's your name
1:40The boys back home all seem to look the same
1:44You should stick with me
1:47And one of us will make it just you see
1:55Stop what's that sound
1:59Seems like the sixties are still swingin around
2:03Hey can you hear me back there
2:07Or is there anybody left to care
2:13So if you ask me where they are
2:18Theyre hanging tough in a soho bar
2:22Playing guitars in the underground
2:26Gone down to london tryin to chase that sound
2:32Down to london down to london
2:37Gone down to london to be the king
2:45Gone down to london to be the king
3:03So I ask you should I cry or laugh
3:08Drinking tea in a kings cross caff
3:12A leather jacket against the cold
3:16Gone down to london turning coal into gold
3:22Down to london down to london
3:27Gone down to london to be the king
3:35Gone down to london to be the king
Stop   what's that sound
Its the death rattle of this rusty old town
Stop   listen again
Its the sound of laughter all along the thames
Hey   what's my line
Do I have to stay here til the end of time
I'm   good lookin and bright
I wanna see life after ten at night
So if they ask you where I am
I'm in the back of a transit van
In a squat on the earls court road
Gone down to london turning coal into gold
Down to london    down to london
Gone down to london to be the king
Gone down to london to be the king
Hey    what's your name
The boys back home all seem to look the same
You    should stick with me
And one of us will make it   just you see
Stop   what's that sound
Seems like the sixties are still swingin around
Hey   can you hear me back there
Or is there anybody left to care
So if you ask me where they are
Theyre hanging tough in a soho bar
Playing guitars in the underground
Gone down to london tryin to chase that sound
Down to london    down to london
Gone down to london to be the king
Gone down to london to be the king
So I ask you should I cry or laugh
Drinking tea in a kings cross caff
A leather jacket against the cold
Gone down to london turning coal into gold
Down to london    down to london
Gone down to london to be the king
Gone down to london to be the king
