London, take me back
I have learnt my lesson well
Nicer towns and warmer climes
Could not quell this loneliness
And they ain't got my back
The colours of my life are dried
Deep within the cracks
Of these broken pavements
London, have a heart
I'm your girl
You know me by now
With my talent for dissatisfaction
My talent for dissatisfaction
London, hear my call
Flight is all I'm guilty of
Time defeats us all
And now I fear love
London, have a heart
I'm your girl
And you know me by now
With my talent for dissatisfaction
My talent for dissatisfaction
And I've always been less a fighter, than a defeatist
Something of a liar, just to dodge the line of fire
Always belonged with gentle folk
But tried my luck with those who choke
The life out of things
Never home, never dry
Never home
London, you've grown cold
All fame without the glory
I fear you've been sold
For sport and coffee
London, have a heart
I'm your girl
And I know you by now
With your talent for dissatisfaction
Your talent for dissatisfaction
But you've always been more a fighter, than a defeatist
Something of a liar, even in the line of fire
Always belonged to gentle folk
But tried your luck with those who choke
The life out of things
Never home, never dry
Never home
London, take me back
I have learnt my lesson well
Nicer towns and warmer climes
Could not quell this loneliness
London, have a heart I'm your girl
Help me lay to rest
This talent, this talent, this talent
For homelessness
