Lyrics

(Verse 1)

Riding through the city on my bike all day,

`Coz the filth took away my license.

It doesn`t get me down and I feel OK,

As the sights that I`m seeing are priceless

Everything seems to look as it should,

But, I wonder what goes on behind doors.

A fella looking dapper - and he`s sitting with a slapper,

Then I see it`s a p**p and his crack wh*re

You might laugh - you might frown,

Walking round London town

(Chorus)

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes,

Everything seems nice...

But, if you look twice,

You can see it`s all lies

(Verse 2)

There was a little old lady,

Who was walkin down the road,

She was struggling with bags from the tesco.

There were people from the city having lunch in the park,

I believe that is called `al fresco`.

When a child came along to offer a hand,

But before she had time to accept it,

Hits her over the head - doesn`t care if she dead,

`Cause he`s got all her jewellery and wallet


You might laugh - you might frown,

Walkin round London town.

(Chorus)

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?

Sun is in the sky oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes,

Everything seems nice...

But, if you look twice,

You can see it`s all lies

Life, yeah that`s city life

Yeah that`s city life

Yeah that`s city life

Life, yeah that`s city life

Yeah that`s city life

Yeah that`s city life

(Chorus)

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?

Sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?

When you look with your eyes,

Everything seems nice...

But, if you look twice,

You can see it`s all lies

When you look with your eyes,

Everything seems nice...

But, if you look twice,

You can see it`s all lies
