London - Pet Shop Boys, Felix Da Housecat

We came from the far north

Summered in Crimea

Deserted the armed forces

Had to disappear

Made it to the free West

On a chartered flight

So we could se what

We trained to fight

We were in London

«Let's do it — let’s break the law!»

We were in London

Tell it like it is

We were in London

Tell it like it is

Looking for hard work

Or credit card fraud

What do you expect from us?

We come from abroad

To get ourselves a new job

On a building-site

They work you so hard

But we trained to fight

We were in London

«Let's do it — let’s break the law!»

We were in London

Tell it like it is

We were in London

«Let's do it — let’s break the law!»

We were in London

Tell it like it is

My father fought in Afghanistan

His widow’s pension ain’t worth a damn

My mother works and goes home to cry

I want to live before I die

We were in London

«Let's do it — let’s break the law!»

We were in London

Tell it like it is

We were in London

Tell it like it is
