cutting corners
London is grey
But its great in its way
If youre 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 thats a first class ticket
If you wanna get away
Cos if you hang around the greys and browns
Theyll just bring you down
Well, its 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 Im dressed to get my way
