C Ah London you're a lady F G Laid out before my eyes C Your golden heart is pulsing Am F Between your scarred up thighs C Your eyes are full of sadness F G Red busses skirt your hem C Your head-dress is a ring of lights Am F But I would not follow them F Your architects were madmen C F G Your builders sane but drunk C Among your faded jewels Am F Shine acid house and punk C You are a scarlet lady F G Your streets run red with blood C Oh my darling they have used you Am F And covered you with mud C It was deep down in your womb my love F G I drank my quart of sin C While chinamen played cards and draughts Am F And knocked back mickey finns F Your piss is like a river C F G Its scent is beer and gin C Your hell is in the summer Am F And you blossom in the spring Am F September is your purgatory C Am/G#/Am Christmas is your heaven F C And when the stinking streets of summer F G Are washed away by rain C At the dark end of a lonely street Am F That's where you lose your pain C F C F 'Tis then your eyes light up my love C And sparkle once again
