London Boys Lyrics

Seen your pictures in the \'zines
And you look real good
Pale blank faces - black and white keen
London boys - cigarette lean

London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys

If we had the money
If we were only rich
We\'d take a jet plane get outa this scene
And make the switch

London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys

Go go go

Seen your pictures in the \'zines
And you look real good
Pale blank faces - black and white keen
London boys - cigarette lean

London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool
London boys
Wish you were here
London boys
Wish we were there
London boys
Seem real cool

London boys
London boys
London boys

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
