Madness - Day On The Town Lyrics






Summer in London, watery sunshine,
A place in the city where I can go sometimes.
To get on a red bus and go anywhere,
See all the sights and not pay the fare,
Summer in London.

Chip on your shoulder, chips in your mouth,
Can you see the old lady, with tickets to tout.
Getting the tourists into their traps,
Taking their money, the shirts off their backs,
Summer in London.

To get in a taxi and go anywhere,
Jump out at the park and not pay the fare.
Watch Speakers Corner, listen to their talk,
Eating their ice creams, going for a walk.

Summer in London, the weather man said,
Waking up late, got to get out of bed.
So much to do, got to go everywhere
A day on the town and not pay the fare.
Riots in London.

    This wasn't the original version that came with '7' upon release. It may of got changed to this in later pressings or when reissued on C.D.

    Darren Hoggett this version was mixed at the same time as the 7 version in 1981. However it was not released widely until the mid 80s. I think it was first released on a European 12 import in late 81 of Shut up.

    A much better out-tro on this version than the original 7 version.
