lyrics

This is the story of a journey.
A process of learning.
About life. About me.
Here I go...

End of April 2003.
Argentinian Airlines.
Suitcase full of dreams.
New era. New chapter.
Me, the main actor.
London, the writer.

Sexy bus boy.
Fresh, Cheeky Bastard.
Spanish smile, hairy chest got me good tips.
Paid the rent.
Crazy flatmates. Expensive rates.
The Village. The Coleherne.
Cheap one night stands.
Clubbing for free. Slave to the dance.
Action. Beyond. Fire. DTPM.
All of them in the key of kay...

I recall the days
When I was away
When my heart was wild
And me a free man
No strings attached
No family ties
I recall the years
When London was mine

National Insurance Number.
Keep it on the left hand side.
Cloudy rainy weather 24/7.
Indian Summer. Mind the gap.

English demos. Perform live.
They made fun of my accent
but music was all I care about.
No jiggy jiggy in the toilet's club.

Portsmouth. Big Mistake. Lesson learnt.
Time to go back. London again.
Pretenders. Ab fab. Kiss the fool and then break up.

Crownwell, North End, Fordwych were the roads.
Earl's Court, Fulham, Kilburn, the hoods.

Armani. Romances. Moody. Bossy. High and low.
Few jobs at the same time. Too young to love.
Time to think. Time to let go.
Surviving more than living.
2005. Final stop.

This is the story of a journey.
About life. About Me.
Here I go again...

I recall the days
When I was away
When my heart was wild
And me a free man

No strings attached
No family ties
I recall the years
When London was mine

I found my place
To run away
Just like a free bird
Right out of the cage

I recall the days
Of crazy good fun
My heart was never yours
When London was mine

At times I felt lonely but always learning
Here and there the world was mine
Freedom was priceless. No rules no owners
King of the land when London was mine
