There's so many beautiful girls in here tonight I can hardly stand it Where do they go during the day? Who the hell do they go home with at the end of the night? I don't understand it They never go home with me You dance as if you're hours away from d**h You're wearing too much make-up and showing too much flesh And you smile a smile to take away my breath Because tonight, and only tonight, you know you're the best The ladies of London town Go flowing through these streets like water Running little streams down to the river They wash the dirty ground, they sweep me off my feet
But like an English summer, they'll soon be gone forever I've seen you trawling Camden at 4am Outside of the clubnight Deciding whose house will hold a free-for-all I've followed you back to mansions and I've met all your friends Under the streetlights But I can never recall what you're called You dance, you sweat Your glance is met And you hold my gaze a bit And pretend you never did And I'm left standing on my own The ladies of London town throw one last glance over their shoulders Blow a kiss, and then they're gone forever
