Lyrics The Chimes Of Big Ben - The Times

The Chimes Of Big Ben

You’ve gone to London to restart your life
And to escape from the people you used to know
To be happy
Get a job and meet some new people
Go to films and shows it’ll be so wonderful
You can see it now
Waited so long for this chance to come
And no one can stop you now
You packed your bags and made off alone
You want to find out where all the hip folk will be
A classy journal tells you where to be seen
During the day you visit the sights
And every night is a party night
What a bad time
Happiness is a good idea
But only when it comes from insid
Come to London for the waterd-down beer
La la, la la
The chimes of Big Ben
La la, la la
Counting away your life with the chimes
When dreams of gold are turned to dust
And fear of rejection destroys my trust
Then it’s fatal
You’ve gone to London to restart your life
But you haven’t got a job or a friend in the world
You’re so unhappy
It’s not the same as it used to be
There’s nothing for the taking
There’s nothing for free
Better watch out, it’ll only end in tears
La la, la la
The chimes of Big Ben
La la, la la
Counting away your life with the chimes
Johnny, come home
Cathy, come home
Happiness is a good idea
But only when it comes from inside
Come to London for the watered-down beer
La la, la la
The chimes of Big Ben
La la, la la
Counting away your life with the chimes
La la, la la
The chimes of Big Ben
La la, la la
Counting away your life with the chimes
