London, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down

Didn't ya?
Straight out of the gutter

London, I love you, but you're bringing me down
I can't believe what you've turned into now
Your soul's being devoured each and every day
Oh, is this the place where the kids used to play?

Will the penny drop when you've lost all feeling?
When only the sterile are under your ceiling
So take a look around, see glass flowers grow (grow, grow, grow, grow)
I know my love and it's barely breathing
I said

London, I love you, but you're bringing me down
I can't beliеve what you've turned into now
Your soul's bеing devoured each and every day
Oh, is this the place where the kids used to play?

Have you looked around? Who's done the cleaning? (cleaning)
Still, a melting pot too hot to touch with sticky fingers
Same finger's on the trigger, but will the spirit linger? (linger)
The ghosts will haunt the ones that pushed them to the brink

It's another high rise birthed from greed
Another coffee shop that no one needs
Another voiceless family cut out and left to bleed

It's another high rise
It's another coffee shop
It's another voiceless family cut out and left to bleed
Yes, it's true, I love you, but you're bringing me down

(But you're bringing me down)
(But you're bringing me down)
(But you're bringing me down)

(Ooh-ooh, ah-ah)
(Ooh-ooh, ah-ah)
(Ooh-ooh, ah-ah)
(Ooh-ooh, ah-ah)

London, I love you, but you're bringing me down
Is it too late to turn this around?
Go search for your soul in the lost and found
Don't take these dreams and dig them six feet down
La-la-la-la-la
