lyrics

What you see is what you get,
Sandwiched between the parapets,
Rocks and hard places,
Have made a house out of this guy.

Come see, for me and for yourselves,
Scribble upon my crooked shelves,
Secrets trapped in stone and time,
Inside and outside.

Bravely standing in the street,
Smiling at everyone I meet,
They don’t see my broken back,
And my cracks in the pavement.

Love me the only way you know,
Shove me and renovate my bones,
I’ll be always wearing my best face to London.

You don’t be deserving,
To be sleeping in the servant’s staircase,
You’re under cover, you’re safe,
Let me take you to a place,
Where it never rains,
It never rains...

Build me up and tear me down,
Memories in every shade of brown,
I’m here now,
Proudly wearing my...
Proudly, always wearing my...
Proudly, always wearing my
Best face to London.
