Jackson Joe Blaze Of Glory Down To London (words and music by Joe Jackson) Stop - what's that sound? It's the death rattle of this rusty old town Stop - listen again It's 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 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 They're hangin' tough in a Soho bar Playing guitars on 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 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 (C) 1989 by Pokazuka Ltd.
