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
