So Long London Lyrics
(Verse 1: Benjamin Clementine)
Taking the first flight out of Heathrow
To a place where I can breathe
I'm leaving behind this crowded island
With its smog and its grime
So long, London, so long
I'm off to see the world
(Chorus)
So long, London, so long
I'm off to see the world
I've had enough of your rain
And your tube that never runs on time
So long, London, so long
I'm off to find my own place
(Verse 2: Cillian Murphy)
I've seen the best of you, London
And I've seen the worst of you too
I've seen the beauty and the ugliness
And I've seen the rich and the poor
But I'm ready for a change
I'm ready to start a new chapter
(Chorus)
So long, London, so long
I'm off to see the world
I've had enough of your rain
And your tube that never runs on time
So long, London, so long
I'm off to find my own place
(Bridge: Tom Hiddleston)
I'll miss your parks and your museums
And your theaters and your pubs
But I know that it's time for me to move on
I'm ready for a new adventure
I'm ready to see what the world has to offer
(Chorus)
So long, London, so long
I'm off to see the world
I've had enough of your rain
And your tube that never runs on time
So long, London, so long
I'm off to find my own place
(Outro: Judi Dench)
So long, London, so long
I'll never forget you
But it's time for me to move on
I'm off to find my own place in the world
