(Verse 1)
Riding through the city on my bike all day,
'Coz the filth took away my license.

It doesn't get me down and I feel OK,
'Coz the sights that I'm seeing are priceless!
Everything seems to look as it should,

But, I wonder what goes on behind doors.
A fella looking dapper - and he's sitting with a slapper,
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack !@^%!


You might laugh - you might frown,
Walking round London town

(Chorus)
The sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

The sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
When you look with your eyes,

Everything seems nice...
But, if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies!


(Verse 2)
There was a little old lady,

Who was walkin down the road,
She was struggling with bags from Tesco.
There were people from the city havin' lunch in the park,

I believe that is called 'al fresco'.
When a kid came along to offer a hand,
But before she had time to accept it,

Hits her over the head - doesn't care if she's dead,
'Cause he's got all her jewellery and wallet!


You might laugh - you might frown,
Walkin round London town.


(Chorus)
The sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

The sun is in the sky oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
When you look with your eyes,

Everything seems nice...
But, if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies!


Life, yeah that city life, yeah that city life, yeah that city life...
Life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life, yeah that's city life.


(Chorus)
The sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?
The sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?

The sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why
Would I wanna be anywhere else?
The sun is in the sky, oh why, oh why

Would I wanna be anywhere else?
When you look with your eyes,
Everything seems nice...

But, if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies!
When you look with your eyes,

Everything seems nice...
But, if you look twice,
You can see it's all lies!
