Do you know what you're looking for? Streets of gold, fame and fortune,
You didn't fancy working in a factory, but your Mum and Dad didn't agree,
But your Mum and Dad didn't agree.

London girl.
You slept on Waterloo station at first, now you've moved to a posher squat,
You wonder where you're next meal will come from, still it's better than living at home,
Still it's better than living at home.

You're looking tired cos it's been three weeks, since you changed your clothes or washed your
feet,
But you're learning fast all the time, how to cadge cigarettes and pills,
How to cadge cigarettes and pills.
la,la,la,la,la,la
London girl,
London girl,
London girl,
You're a london girl
I don't condemn what you done,
I know what it is to be young,
You're only searching for today,
To seek the answers about yesterday
And I hope you find.
