LILY ALLEN - LDN
Riding Through The City On My Bike All Day
Cause The Filth Took Away My License
It Doesn't Get Me Down And I Feel Ok
Cause The Sights That I'm Seeing Are Priceless
Everything Seems To Look As It Should
But I Wonder What Goes On Behind Doors
A Fella Looking Dapper, But He's Sitting With A Slapper
Then I See It's A Pimp And His Crack Whore
You Might Laugh You Might Frown
Walkin' Round London Town
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
When You Look With Your Eyes
Everything Seems Nice
But If You Look Twice
You Can See It's All Lies
There Was A Little Old Lady, Who Was Walking Down The Road
She Was Struggling With Bags From Tesco
There Were People From The City Having Lunch In The Park
I Believe That It's Called Al Fresco
Then A Kid Came Along To Offer A Hand
But Before She Had Time To Accept It
Hits Her Over The Head, Doesn't Care If She's Dead
Cause He's Got All Her Jewelery And Wallet
You Might Laugh You Might Frown
Walking Round London Town
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
When You Look With Your Eyes
Everything Seems Nice
But If You Look Twice
You Can See It's All Lies
Life, Yeah That's City Life, Yeah That's City Life, Yeah That's City Life
Life, Yeah That's City Life, Yeah That's City Life, Yeah That's City Life
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
Sun Is In The Sky Oh Why Oh Why
Would I Wanna Be Anywhere Else?
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Lily Allen, Iyiola Babalola, Darren Lewis, Tommy McCook
Producer(s): Future Cut
"Ldn" Is Text Speak For London. The Song Is A Tribute To The City Of Lily Allen's Birth Set To A Sunny, Cheerful Tune. However Its Cynical Tone With References To Crack Whores, Pimps And The Filth (Slang For The Police) Only Really Becomes Apparent On Subsequent Listens.
This Uses A Sample Of "Reggae Merengue" By Tommy Mccook & The Supersonics.
This Was Originally Released In The Uk On A Limited Edition 7" Vinyl In April 2006, And Was Re-Released In September Following The #1 Success In The Uk Of Lily Allen's Second Single "Smile."
Allen Performed This Song And "Smile" At The "Concert For Diana" In 2007, Which Commemorated The 10th Anniversary Of The Death Of Princess Diana. Allen Was 12 Years Old When Diana Died, And Attended The Funeral With Her Dad.
