Richard Thompson - The sights and sounds of london town

Oh ^DGillian she's a Doncaster lass ^DTrains it down on the quarter past, ^EmFriday night leaves the ^F#mkids at home, And ^Gstruts her stuff on the ^AEuston Road. Saying "^BmDo you want some company ^Ddarling? ^BmDo you want some company n^Dow? ^BmMy place, your place^D or no place... I could ^Guse the extra cash any^Ahow"

Oh ^DJean-Paul he came over from Toulouse, They ^Dtold him that London was the golden goose. He ^Emnever got his hands on ^F#menough to eat, He ^Gnever did get his arse ^Aup off the street.

^DWanted to be a rap DJ, ^DThey took his pulse then they turned him away. ^EmUnder the radar of your ^F#mfellow man, With ^Gall that charisma it ^Aain't worth a damn. Saying "^BmLend me your shoes till ^DMonday... Oh ^Bmbrother can you lend me a ^Dcomb? ^BmI can wash dishes ^Dall night long, I just need my ^Gfare back ^Ahome"

Well ^DJackie she tried just about everything. She ^Dtried to dance, she tried to sing. ^EmToo many doors slammed ^F#min your face, It ^Gleaves a nasty ^Aaftertaste.

You ^Dscramble around for a little bit of cash, ^DEase the pain with Mister Flash. ^EmSaint Anne's Court is the ^F#mrendezvous, For ^Gthose who share your ^Apoint of view. Saying "^BmThis is the last time you will s^Dee me ^BmNever again no ^Dway! ^BmOne more time I'll never ^Dask you again. I've ^Gjust got to get through to^Aday"

Oh ^DMickey he sleeps every two or three days, ^DRuns through Soho like a rat through a maze. ^EmA little blackmail here a ^F#msting on the side, E^Gnough to get started on the ^Anext enterprise.

^DDresses expensive but that's just a crutch, Like his ^Dword or his handshake it doesn't mean much, ^EmDepends on his kickback from the ^F#mmiddle man, And wha^Gtever he can beat out of ^ASally Ann. Saying "^BmLucky I'm the one you ran in^Dto, Oh ^Bmlucky I've taken a ^Dshine! ^BmLucky I'm needing a ^Dpartner... ^G50/50 right down the ^Aline"
