Well I want to live
In the centre of town
Surrounded by the crowds
Where it's going down, down
One room studio, just off Marble Arch
Two thousand a month is a small price to pay
Kitchen's in the kettle, bathroom is the sink,
Life in the Big Smoke is smaller than you think
You commute all week
Haven't got a clue
Stuff your travel card, yes,
You can keep zone two, two
I have lost my marbles just off Marble Arch
I can't swing a cat, there's no pets in the lease
But I'm free to be in the red, I'm in the pink
Life in the big smoke is smaller than you think,
You think, you think
And in this world of my own creation
it's all location, location, location
Now I'm living in
The heart of everything
I can not afford to
Do a single thing - but
One room studio, just off Marble Arch
May have lost of my marbles but I've found my home,
Dizzy with delight as my bank balance shrinks
Life in the Big Smoke is clearer than you think,
Than you think
