Bowie, David - The London Boys Lyrics
Bow Bells strike another night
Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache
You've bought some coffee, butter and bread
You can't make a thing cause the meter's dead
You moved away
Bright lights, Soho, Wardour street
You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet
Somebody shows you round
Now you've met the London boys
Things seem good again, someone cares about you
Oh, the first time that you tried a pill
You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill
You're gonna be sick, but you mustn't lose faith
With the London boys, with the London boys
You're only seventeen, but you think you've grown
In the month you've been away from your parents' home
You take the pills too much
You don't give a damn about that jobs you've got
So long as you're with the London boys
A London boy, oh a London boy
Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy
A London boy, a London boy
You think you've had a lot of fun
But you ain't got nothing, you're on the run
It's too late now, cause you're out there boy
You've got it made with the rest of the toys
Now you wish you'd never left your home
You've got what you wanted but you're on your own
With the London boys
Now you've met the London boys
Now you've met the London boys
Now you've met the London boys

Bowie, David The London Boys Comments
A friend of my Mum met a very young David Bowie in Soho. Took him home, fucked him senseless then ate his shite AND the dirty bastard loved it! "Oh a London rent boy a London rent boy your crying out to get your arse destroyed."
This is NOT the original version.
This is the version included in the World of David Bowie.
This man was a genius and no song shows this more so than does this one...so young...so utterly talented
60 years really bad anxiety could not have done it without David Bowie, He has saved my life
Although this single wasn't a hit, you could still tell from it that David Bowie had potential.
How can u replace this man
You can't.
David Bowie was sucking cock when he wrote this.
Fabulous! And yes, Dave loved Anthony Newly...!!!
We all have to agree that 0:00 to 0:05 is the best part
I would love to eat his shite.
London Boys your true story 🙏👏👏
amazing
Brilliant song. Especially the last 1 minute.
Shit , I have been there.... HIGH School . but not pills , powerful buds.
This whole album rules!
I'm 17 now and when i was a kid listing to this song I'm was so excited to go to london when I'm 17 but saddly I didn't lol
The key changes are superb. The organ simmers.
Since I heard the interpretaion of this lyrics for the first time, I always feel like, getting taken away to the moment where it was sung. Some places I also have been to: gray, dusty not realy colourful parts London. For me, it is like an intimate and close encounter with a young men, who feels fucked up an proud at once.
He wrote this when he was 19. What an icon.
great album "Images 66/67" from a fan for well over 40 years.
Haha, already some Philip Glass influence here.
another BRIT LEGEND we rock
An original Brixton Boy we will all miss you Davy RIP Mate
I thought he was from Beckenham
@Adrian Cooke In order of appearance in his life : Brixton, Bromley, Beckenham http://www.southlondonguide.co.uk/brixton/davidbowie.htm
Later in his life he loved a China Girl.
See what you got from that...now you Brits have got a Brexit on your hand...

Just kidding...
Bowie was fantastic , musical inspiration
Still is. He lives in our hearts and souls. He will never die!

great song by a very young David Bowie
The first comment, I'm a London boy, so was David Bowie, I fucking love you David Bowie, you brought me a lot of happiness in an otherwise shit life.
