LYRICS

Do you know the me that wakes 
And see’s the live wire in her eyes
The It girl with the twist girl 
And no-one realizes
That I’m living on a tightrope
I can’t, I won’t look down
I pussyfoot from drink to drink 
In swinging London Town

Do you know the me that wakes in places
Faces I’ve never seen?
The mother of all hangovers
To remind me where I’ve been
And if I stop, I’m sickened
It really gets me down
So I step back into the city lights
The Queen of London Town

It’s the Queen of London Town
It’s the Queen of London Town

New York, Monaco, Paris and Milan
Poor little rich girl who does it cause she can
I’m just a big time Gucci girl
A thirst in retail therapy
Now we’re down the slide to rehab
And all the gear for free
And with these joke filled egos
martini sipping charm
Gigolos, stick-thin models hanging off their arm
I guess I’m neck deep in it
I’m starting to drown
Along with all the wannabes in swinging London Town

Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Really, really know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Really, really know me?

Do you know me?
Really, really know me?

Soho soaks drink Campari
Free flowing bubbly, a drop of gin
Cocktails with price tags make you choke on your sushi
Dressed to impress, these bright young things

Chelsea chicks drink white wine spritzers
G and T’s or bottle beer
Hooray Henries crusing the King’s Road
And Daddy’s Bently stocked full of gear

Do you know the me the face that graces
The pages of “Hello”?
Try hard to die hard
United on the go
Air kissing eligible bachelors,
Trust fund daddy’s boys
International playgirls showing off their toys

And all these price tag starlets
A galaxy of stars
Buzzing round the next big thing
And checking out their cars
I guess I’m neck deep in it 
And starting to drown
Along with all the wannabes 
In swinging London town

Swinging London town
Swinging London town
Swinging London town
