Stop - what's that sound

It's the death rattle of this rusty old town

It's the sound of laughter all along the Thames

Do I have to stay here 'til the end of time

I want to see life after ten at night

D A
So if they ask you where I am

I'm in the back of a transit van

In a squat on the Earls Court road

Gone down to London turning coal into gold

The boys back home all seem to look the same

And one of us will make it, just you see

Or is there anybody left to care
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
D A
And if you ask me where they are

They're hanging tough in a Soho bar

Playing guitars on the underground

Gone down to London trying to chase that sound

So I ask you should I cry or laugh

Drinking tea in a Kings Cross caff
D A
A leather jacket against the cold

Gone down to London turning coal into gold
A D A
Down to London - down to London
Bm F#m G D Bm E Bm E
Gone down to London to be the king
