No frowning!

\nA train packed with commuters and a dark and dreary sky
\nA day that starts like others always do
\nAn office filled with workers who don’t stop to question why
\nThen lunch and send a message off to you
\nSix million other people buzzing round my ancient town
\nI’m sure to find a story that will wipe away my frown<\/p>\n
The boss is far too snappy he’d much rather be in bed
\nThe sales team sound too happy, which is worse?
\nThe noise of high heeled shoes on wood is filling up my head
\nSome days a London life can seem a curse
\nBut I’m in love with London it has always been my town
\nAnd something in the chaos always wipes away the frown<\/p>\n
A walk along the river then an ice-cream by the tower
\nA statue of a mermaid makes me smile
\nThe guns aboard the Belfast speak of ancient naval power
\nThat hasn’t mattered much for quite a while
\nThere’s half a million tourists taking snaps all round my town
\nAnd girls in tiny mini-skirts will take away the frown<\/p>\n
A rather seedy cafe serves a lunch that hits the spot
\nA bacon roll and over sweetened tea
\nA walk past shops that overflow with things I haven’t got
\nAnd then you send a comment back to me
\nI hop aboard a big red bus to get across the town
\nAnd reading what you sent me seems to dissipate my frown<\/p>\n
I know a pub in Soho that’s been there four hundred years
\nWe’ll meet there after work to have a chat
\nA day of office work is not so bad when washed with beers
\nAnd bar food that’s designed to make you fat
\nThough you are half a world away I feel you in my town
\nAnd thinking you are there with us will keep away the frown<\/p>\n
We’ve tickets for a musical, where Queen songs save the day
\nAnd after that a black cab takes me home
\nThis city that I call my home is filled with work and play
\nNo Londoner has any need to roam
\nOne day I’ll come to visit you and look around your town
\nAnd bring you back to London, that’s a dream that kills a frown<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
