Riding through the city on my bike all day,
Cause the filth took away my license.
It doesn't get me down and I feel OK,
Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless.
Everything seems to look as it should,
But, I wonder what goes on behind doors.
A fella looking dapper - and he's sitting with a slapper,
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore.

You might laugh - you might frown,
Walking round London town.
Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
When you look with your eyes,
Everything seems nice...
But, if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies.

There was a little old lady,
Who was walkin down the road,
She was struggling with bags from Tesco.
There were people from the city havin' lunch in the park,
I believe that is called 'al fresco.'
When a kid came along to offer a hand,
But before she had time to accept it,
Hits her over the head - doesn't care if she's dead,
Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet.

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
