Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A devil moon took me through the alley
Down by the Kardomah and the Centrale
To the mews running through the backstreets
Where the Blacks sold fire and sleep
The devil moon took me out of Soho
Up to Camden where the cold north winds blow
Sucked along by a winter shower
To stand beside your shining tower
[PreChorus]
This could be our final dance
This could be our very last chance
The sound of your voice
Wherever I may be
Changes everything
And then the world's alright with me
[Chorus]
(You're my London girl) The way that you walk
(You're my London girl) The way that you talk
(You're my London girl) Just the sound of your voice
I ain't got no choice
[Verse 2]
The lights were going out, the moon was dying
The night was turning to a fine spring morning
The dogs were barking and the kids were shouting
The sun was splashing in a crystal fountain
When the cold winds come and find you
Blowing down from the top of the high-rise
I'll come and take you back down to Soho
Away from all those mad men's eyes
[Verse 3]
This could be our final dance
This could be our very last chance
And if you cut me, don't you think I feel?
Is this body clay? Is this heart made of steel?
[Chorus]
(You're my London girl) The way that you walk
(You're my London girl) The way that you talk
(You're my London girl) Just the sound of your voice
I ain't got no choice
[Verse 4]
This could be our very last chance
This could be our final dance
And if you cut me, don't you think I feel?
Is this body clay? Is this heart made of steel?
[Chorus]
(You're my London girl) The way that you walk
(You're my London girl) The way that you talk
(You're my London girl) Take the rest of the world
You're my London girl
[Outro]
(You're my London girl) You're my London girl
(You're my London girl) You're my London girl
(You're my London girl) You're my London girl
(You're my London girl) You're my London girl
