That's part of a city that is generally referred to as London
It's a dark place, a mysterious place

You better top up your suntan
Otherwise your skin is going to turn to leather
We'll make a movie in Vietnam
The tax break said, 'We're going to shoot on location'

Sunlight and the city is barely awake
As all the early morning drifters make their way
Headlights in the distance, too bright for my eyes
Still I love the dusk, the dawn, between times

Make yourself a cuppa tea
Drag your emotions out of the gutter
Don't wallow in self pity

With white hair, sitting in a big chair
Judging the world and its morals
Forgiving today so we can sin again tomorrow

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
It tastes just like Cherry Cola, C-O-L-A Cola
