Cutting Corners

London is gray but it's great in it's way

If you're just barreling through

You find a first class boiler

And she boils your cares awayWell, life is a gas but the laughs never last

So you add a handful of blues

Now, that's a first class ticket if you wanna get away

'Cos if you hang around the grays and browns

They'll just bring you downWell, it's a useless rap you got to cut the crap

Go directly to the things that matter to you

Have to cut corners or fade away, have to cut corners or fade away

Going through channels in ties and gray flannelsJust slows everything down

And when I want a thing, I want it right away

Going straight for the heart, tears your wardrobe apart

But it wears the other guy down

I may look a mess but I'm dressed to get my way
