lyrics

LONDON CITY DREAMS
Music & Lyrics by Christy

London
London City
Is a place where selling is king
And people walk round like a product
Filled with violence and
Peddling dreams

It's a landscape built of wine and roses
Designed to make you feel alright
But flakey friends are all just clothes and noses
And who you know out on a Saturday night

That's right
In London
London City
The seasons are plain 'bout reversed
With cool cool days, and flammable night times
Often
Paid for with brain

It's a landscape built of wine and roses
Designed to make you feel alright
Your acquaintances are all locked in toilets
Or nodding wildly at their hero tonight
That's right
In London
London City
London
London's City

Starlets
Starlet & Sirens
Wide eyes & white limousines
We climb on, strive for the higher ground
But can't move
For treading on dreams

It's a landscape built of wine and roses
Designed to make you feel alright
But flakey friends are all just clothes and stinging noses
They'll leave you lonely on a Saturday night
That's right
In London
London City
London
London's Sssity

Out on the scene
"Are you part of the scene? Obscene!"
London, Lun-dun
That's right, here in London...

credits

from London City Dreams, track released July 1, 2005
From London City Dreams single, which had a very limited release - maybe 20 copies(!) - in June 2005, more for friends than anything official.
London City Dreams & it's B-side Dellow Street are both home demos, but both being strong songs and unlikely to be re-recorded in the near future, it makes sense to issue them here on the MHM download store in their stark unpolished maximum charm versions, enjoy!

Composed, arranged, produced & performed by Christy.

Nathan Persad in Colour
by Nathan Persad

A whole new technicolour aural explosion from the master of vintage song craft. Eleven and a bit songs that bridge surf, pop, rock, psyche, ballad, blues in just the way no one else does. Christy
