[Verse 1]

The sun dying on a dusty room

TV lying to me through the gloom

Even remote control can't change this mood

Get outta London while the getting's good

Get outta London while I know I could

Get outta London


[Verse 2]

Train's coming, just ride and believe

The engine running's all the music I need

I've got a fear of the past and a hunger to feed

Get outta London and you shall be free

Get outta London and it's guaranteed

Get outta London


[Bridge]

I walked the avenue of dumb signs

Meant nothing and it felt fine

Then I remembered what was really mine

A silver shiver running down my spine

Down where the streets are paved with sick schemes

The river's running like a snake through a dream

The politicians gaze across its slime

I need another way to waste my time

Get outta London, get outta London


[Verse 3]

Saw the spectre of charity

And he didn't seem too brotherly

Propping up what should be blown away

A brotherhood of man in disarray

I got hit by the dreamer's disease

Whereby your big ideas

Don't make connection with your buckling knees

And saw the greed and we agreed that it sucked

But they said, "Don't laugh at money 'cause it's bad, bad luck"

Get outta London, get outta London

Get outta London, get outta London


[Outro]

Get out, get out, get out, get out (Get outta London)

Get out, get out, get out, get out (Get outta London)

Get out, get out, get out, get out (Get outta London)

Get out, get out, get out, get out (Get outta London)

Get out, get out, get out, get out (Get outta London)

Get outta London
