Gordon Phillips, who recently shared the stage with Gabrielle mit drie in a jazz/poetry lunchtime session at the Central Library, Newcastle, has kindly sent me this lyric. Gordon has also written the music which, he tells me, has been arranged in 12/8 time by pianist Paul Buck. Well we haven't got the music but the words read well - Lance.
London town, London town,
London dreams.
London town, London town,
London dreams.
If you can be someone a way of being someone,
Well, there’s nowhere better than London town;
For this is where the chance is and you’ll get
the glances
As you go out on the town.
-----
We all love to be at where we can be seen at,
And there’s nowhere better than London town;
For this is where the heart is, they roll out
the red carpet,
Here’s the big shot he’s in town.
-----
Whenever she dreams
She’s a part of you;
Whatever she schemes
She’s a part of you;
Whatever she schemes
She’s a part of your dreams,
-----
And at night it’s show-time it’s making for a
good time,
And there’s nowhere better than London town.
You see it in the bright lights there’s so many
bright lights
For this is the heart of town.
-----
If you can be someone a way of being someone,
Well, there’s nowhere better than London town;
For this is where the chance is and you’ll get
the glances
As you go out on the town.
-----
Whenever she dreams
She’s a part of you;
Whatever she schemes
She’s a part of you;
Whatever she schemes
She’s a part of your dreams,
