Swinging London Town lyrics

[Sarah's verse]

Do you know the me that wakes

And sees the livewire in my eyes?

The it girl with the twist girl

And no-one realises

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

[Kimberley's verse]

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

[Nicola's chorus]

New York, Monaco, Paris and Milan

Poor little rich girl

Who does it coz she can

I'm just a big time Gucci girl

A thirst in retail therapy

Now on downwards slide to rehab

And all of it for free

And with these joke-fuelled egos

Martini sipping chums

Gigolos, sipping models

Hanging off their arms

I guess I'm neck deep in it

I'm starting to drown

Along with all the wannabes

In swinging London town

[Cheryl's chant]

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?

[Cheryl's middle8]

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&Ts or bottle of beer

Hooray Henry's cruising the King's Road

In daddy's Bentley still full of gear

Gear, gear, gear, gear, gear, gear, gear, gear

[Nadine's verse]

Do you know the me that face graces

The pages of Hello?

Tryin' hard to die hard

United on the go

And kissing eligible bachelors, and trust-fund daddy's boys

International playgirls showing off their toys

[Nicola's chorus]

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

Swinging London town
