This Is London

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Ladies and gentlemen Step into the rain Boots on the pavement Names on every train River keeps moving Past brick and bone Old stories breathing Under every stone [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath now Feel that pulse begin Every streetlight Pulls you in [Chorus] This is London This is London Memory in motion Heart on the run This is London This is London Where the night keeps singing And the day’s just begun [Verse 2] Market bags swinging On a chipped red curb Bus windows fogged up With every word From the West End chorus To a southside street Everybody’s searching For a place to meet [Pre-Chorus] Hold your breath now Feel that pulse begin Every corner Lets you in [Chorus] This is London This is London Memory in motion Heart on the run This is London This is London Where the night keeps singing And the day’s just begun [Bridge] When you’re lost here You’re not alone The city keeps your echo Like it knows your name One more step now Don’t look back The whole wide city Shifts like flame [Chorus] This is London This is London Memory in motion Heart on the run This is London This is London Where the night keeps singing And the day’s just begun
