We Are London
Madness Lyrics
Na na na na naaaa na na
Na na na na naaaa na na
From Regent's Park mosque on to Baker Street
Down to the Cross where all the pipesmoke neat
To Somerstown where somethings never stop
The Roundhouse, The Marathon Bar and Camden Lock
You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
As one big family
Down to Chinatown for duck and rice
Along Old Compton St, the boys are nice
On Carnaby you still can get the threads
If you wanna be a mod, a punk, a ted or a suedehead
You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it, if we all live together
As one big family
Na na na na naaaa na na
We are London
Na na na na naaaa na na
London's talking
Na na na na naaaa na na
We are London
Na na na na naaaa na na
London walking
In all the nightclubs, strip joints and the bars
From it's poorest paid to it's highest stars
The poets, plumbers, painters, spreads and sparks
From it's inner-city to it's furthest parts
You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it, if we all live together
As one big family
Na na na na naaaa na na
We are London
Na na na na naaaa na na
London talking
Na na na na naaaa na na
We are London
Na na na na naaaa na na
London walking
Na na na na naaaa na na
Na na na na naaaa na na.

From Regent's Park mosque on to Baker Street
Down to the Cross where all the pipesmoke neat
To Somerstown where somethings never stop
The Roundhouse, The Marathon Bar and Camden Lock
You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it if we all live together
As one big family?
Down to Chinatown for duck and rice
Along Old Compton Street, the boys are nice
On Carnaby you still can get the threads
If you wanna be a mod, a punk, a ted or a suedehead
You can make it your own hell or heaven
Live as you please
Can we make it if we all live together

Bbc breakfast news brought me here. I was in another room and seriously, when they played a bit of it, i thought it was John Lennon. Still sounds like the Beatles, hearing the whole song.
Caroline Clarkson Drake
