lyrics

when u discovered u were queer u were living in a tiny town where nothing queer ever happens for miles and miles around
but then u heard of a magical place at the mouth of the river thames where everyone's on twitter in cafes and the party never ends
they say there's gay clubs on every corner, they say the streets are paved with gold, they say that everyone's stylish and sexy and the people there don't grow old
so get urself down to london where any queer can be a star; if you can survive in london everybody will know who u r

cos everything happens in london
all the queers are living in london
it's not cool 2 live in the midlands
because everything happens in london

but once you've been there for half a year and ur feeling kinda down on luck, you may find that you start to consider that maybe london sorta kinda sucks
because the rent is as high is the skyline and the landlord's a fucking jerk and everyone's on twitter in cafes because they just can't seem to find work
and people say that pride is a protest, but it's really just a corporate wank; you march and you shout politely between the arms dealers and the investment banks
so get urself down to london, london's as good as you get; you'll be safe living in london under the watchful eye of the met

cos everything happens in london...

there's a hole in the world like a great black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with shit and the vermin of the world inhabit it; that's london
there's solidarity in misery and misery loves company and we'll all live together in poverty in london
