From The South I Rose


 

From the south I rose

I rose safe and sound

London is my home

I’m a Londoner and proud

 

bedsits verse the penthouse

same street address

whilst the tramp sleeps

in his cardboard home

down below

no such luxuries no home abode

 

[Chorus]

from the south I rose

I rose safe and sound

London is my home

I’m a Londoner and proud.

 

a million miles apart

vagabonds, a clown a yuppie

neighbors with no common ground

yet respect always found

 

[Chorus]

from the south I rose

I rose safe and sound

London is my home

I’m a Londoner and proud.

 

taxi’s come taxi’s go

the rain and streetlights all aglow

graffiti art, train lines loud

posh rooftop bars

and in the gutter, drunks drown

 

[Chorus]

from the south I rose

I rose safe and sound

London is my home

I’m a Londoner and proud.

 

pubs and karaoke

music and beer

live for football 

as hooligans cheer

 

[Chorus]

from the south I rose

I rose safe and sound

London is my home

I’m a Londoner and proud, proud, Proud
