The council houses
Just behind the mansions
Where are we walking to
In this city full of dreams
Of yours and theirs and mine
There are no days off in London
Every second of time
Bursting with life,
Movement, creation.
It's hectic over here,
And I exchanged all I knew for it.
...
I would exchange it again
And again and again
And again because,
London,
To make love to you,
To feel your power,
To live in your power,
You make my pain turn into Gold.
