Cutting Corners

London is grey but it's great in it's way, If you're just barrelling through

You find a first class boiler and she Boils your cares away

Well life is a gas, but the laughs never last, So you add a handful of blues

Now that's a first class ticket if you wanna get away

'Cos if you hang around the greys and browns, They'll just bring you down

Well it's a useless rap you got to cut the crap

go directly to the things that matter to you

Have to cut corners or fade away, Have to cut corners or fade away

Going through channels in ties and grey flannels, Just slows everything down, And when I want a thing, I want it right away

Going straight for the heart, tears your wardrobe, Apart, but it wears the other guy down

I may look a mess but I'm dressed to get my way
