Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bus to Finsbury
ラガはいっつもロック・ステディー
Good morning BandB
朝はいつもの BBC
ソウル・サバイバー
フロムキョウトシティ
London town Take me out
I wanna be your rock steady yeah

日は暮れない
チューブも僕も Minor delay
Thank you Beatles
I'm trying to
Across the universe
産まれるんだ何も気にしないよ
はやるんだ
気持ちはいつも London calling

Bus to Finsbury
今日も雨が降ってる
Good morning Who are you?
Who who who?
Who are you? Who who who?
I'm a boy
キョウトからやってきた
ソウル・サバイバー
To make you exotic




London town Take me out
I wanna be your rock steady yeah
