You have to hate the world

it's required by your clothes

consistency is everything 

as everybody knows

it's so cold, baby

you're losing your hold, baby

and you're gonna fold, baby

before too long



but don't tell me your secret lies in London

I already know

I can see your secret lies in London

everywhere I go



There is a sun somewhere 

extremely far away

your tired eyes, reflecting the sky,

a drizzly steel grey

there's no light in there

and there's no sight in there

I get right in there, and it's all 

dark



but don't deny your secret lies in London

it's not worth your while

you can lie back and think of England

and miss it by a mile ya na na na na 



you can't conceal your secret lies in London

obvi ous ly not

I can feel your secret lies in London

deeper than you thought ya na na na na
