Let me finish before I begin Speakers cornered by this London Djinn Gift of the gab, with no sleep Speed bumps speed dating, all week she's got a rush hour glass figure And the city boys picking up the tab for her she's a carnival flower And she's watered by the songs the streets sing her
Chorus) Neon lights are the stars of the city she's got teeth, red lips, red lights no pity So I guess we'll do it her way So I'll guess we'll do it, her way
Verse 2) Her immigrant parents, night and day Poured their lives into this London clay she's Nigerian Spanish, a Turkish delight Jamaican wedding so an Israelite She a cockney trouble and strife she's got muscles and cockles and special fried rice If she's past the prime and her life Why do they still check her out from the corner of their eyes?
Full Chorus Neon lights are the stars of the city she's got teeth red lips, red lights no pity So I guess we'll do it her way So I guess we'll do it her way
Neon lights are the stars of the city Constellations of her rough romantic pity So I guess we'll do it her way So I guess we'll do it, her way
Middle 8 With a voice like that she's calling with a promise and a smile that she might pay back With a voice like that
Verse 3 she's got a rush hour glass figure And the city boys picking up the tab for her she's a carnival flower And she's watered by the songs the streets sing her
