London Queen Lyrics

Right away from Holloway
I said, "Mum, this isn't a holiday
Listen up, I ain't coming back
'Til I can fill the shack up with all gold plaques"
Soon come, home run (wack!)
Locket out the park with a baseball bat

When I'm driving on the wrong side of the road
I feel like JFK y'know

I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Doing things the American way-ay-ay
I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)

Now I live in Hollywood
I can't stop even though I know I should
It feels so good, oh yeah, oh oh

When I'm driving on the wrong side of the road
I feel like JFK y'know

I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Doing things the American way-ay-ay
I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)

I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Doing things the American way-ay-ay
I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)

Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)
Livin' the dream like a London Queen

(oi oi oi wack oi oi)
(oi oi oi wack oi oi)

I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Doing things the American way-ay-ay
I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)

I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Doing things the American way-ay-ay
I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)

Livin' the dream like a London Queen
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)
Livin' the dream like a London Queen
Livin' the dream like a London Queen (oi)

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.

Cover art for London Queen lyrics by Charli XCX

This song is actually about her making it big in America rather than the UK, which happened. Although I never did understand what she meant by, "(When I'm driving on the wrong side of the road) I feel like JFK you know..."

Wrong side of the road means she's in America.
