Do you know the mean of weeks can seize the live wire in her eyes
The it girl with a twist girl and no one realises
That I'm living on a tightrope, I can't, I won't look down
I pussy-foot from drink to drink in swinging London town
Do you know the mean of ways and places? Faces I've never seen
The mother of all hangovers to remind me where I've been
And if I stop, I'm sickened, it really gets me down
So I step back into the city lights, the Queen of London town
The Queen of London town
The Queen of London town
New York, Monacco, Paris and Milan
Poor little rich girl who does it cos she can
I'm just a big time Gucci girl, a thirst in retail therapy
Now we're down the slide to rehab, and all the gear for free
And with these joke filled egos, Martini sipping charm
Gigolos, slipping models hanging off their arm
And yes I'm neck deep in it, I'm starting to drown
Along with all the wannabes in swinging London town
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Really really know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Really really know me?
Do you know me?
Really really know me?
Soho soaks drink Campari
Free flowing bubbly, a drop of gin
Cocktails with price tags make you choke on your sushi
Dressed to impress these bright young things
Chelsea chicks drink white wine spritzers
G & T's or a bottle of beer
?? crusing the Kings's road
And daddy's Bently stocked full of gear
Gear, gear, gear, gear
Gear, gear, gear, gear
Do you know the need to face ??
Try hard to die hard, united on the go
Air kissing eligible bachelors, trust fund daddy's boys
International playgirls showing off their toys
And all these price tag starlets, a galaxy of stars
Buzzing round the next big thing and taking off their clothes
I guess I'm neck deep in it, I'm starting to drown
Along the wannabes in swinging London town
Swinging London town
Swinging London town
Swinging London town
The lyrics SWINGING LONDON TOWN of GIRLS ALOUD is also present in the album Chemistry (2005)
Girls Aloud è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi nel 2002 durante il talent show televisivo Popstars. Il quintetto, composto da Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts e Kimberley Walsh, ha conquistato rapidamente il successo in patria con una serie di singoli che hanno raggiunto le classifiche britanniche. Tra i loro successi più noti figurano "Sound of the Underground", "The Show", "I'll Stand By You" e "Walk This Way" (in collaborazione con le Sugababes). Le Girls Aloud sono state un gruppo pop di grande successo nel Regno Unito, con 16 singoli consecutivi nella top 10 delle classifiche britanniche, tra cui quattro brani che hanno raggiunto la vetta. Nonostante il loro stile musicale sia spesso definito come "pop manufactured", le Girls Aloud hanno ricevuto anche l'approvazione di critici musicali più esigenti, come quelli di NME e The Observer. Il gruppo si è sciolto nel 2013 dopo una lunga carriera segnata da successi commerciali e un seguito fedele.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
