When a kid came along to offer a hand
You can see it's all lies
Yeah, that's city life
But if you look twice

Everything seems nice
Everything seems nice

But if you look twice
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
Yeah, that's city life
I believe that is called ‘al fresco’
But if you look twice
Then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore

You can see it's all lies
Everything seems nice

She was struggling with bags from Tesco
When you look with your eyes
Hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead

You might laugh, you might frown
Sun is in the sky
When you look with your eyes
But I wonder what goes on behind doors
Yeah, that's city life
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
Everything seems nice
Everything seems to look as it should

Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?

There was a little old lady, who was walkin’ down the road

Sun is in the sky

It doesn't get me down and I feel okay
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
Sun is in the sky
Sun is in the sky
Life
Yeah, that's city life
Sun is in the sky
But before she had time to accept it
Life
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
But if you look twice
When you look with your eyes
Sun is in the sky

‘Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless
There were people from the city havin’ lunch in the park
Yeah, that's city life
You might laugh, you might frown
You can see it's all lies
Sun is in the sky
A fella looking dapper and he's sittin’ with a slapper
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?
Walkin’ ‘round London town

Oh why, oh why would I wanna be anywhere else?

You can see it's all lies
Sun is in the sky
‘Cause he's got all her jewelry and wallet
When you look with your eyes
Yeah, that's city life
Walkin' ‘round London town
