Ted Hutt - This is War lyrics

[Verse 1] The lovers and the ne'er do wells the fakers and the wastrels Thrown together in this filth and fighting for survival The dancers and the chancers and the ones to be avoided The thinkers and the drinkers and the downright disappointed [Verse 2] The winners and the sinners, the broken and the tragic The losers and the bruisers and the frantically romantic The soon to be somebodies, the fallen and the has-beens The witty pretty city kids, the ravers of the new scene [Chorus] This is life and this is war This is us we're fighting for This is London, this is now We've all got something that we're fighting for This is war [Verse 3] The rushing and the pushing this old town it pulls ‘em to it The highways and the byways and the river running through it The brick and mud is in my blood, we know each others secrets Well never shall I be untrue and never shall I leave it [Chorus] This is life, this is war This is us we're fighting for This is London, this is now We've all got something that we're fighting for This is war [Bridge] Raise your cannons, raise your colours Flash against the sky above us Fight the fight, the fight we live with Keep your wits about you [Chorus] This is war This is London, this is now This is war A siren sounds a wake up call This is war London bridge is falling down This is war
