If you recognise some of the lyrics below then it may have been "Girls Aloud", alternatively it may have been "The Magnetic Field", lyrics below the *******

Do you know the me that wakes and see the livewire in my eyes
The it girl with a twist girl and no one realises
Just that I'm living on a tightrope, I can't, I won't look down
I pussyfoot from drink to drink in swinging London Town

Do you know the me that wakes the places with faces I've never seen
The mother of all hangovers to remind me where I've been
And if I stop, I'm sickened, it really gets me down
So I step back into the city lights the queen of London Town
It's the queen of London Town
It's the queen of London Town

New York, Monico, Paris and Milan
Poor little rich girl, who does it cos she can
I'm just a big time Gucci girl a first in retail therapy
And now we're down the slide to rehab and all of it for free
And with these joke-fuelled egos, Martini sipping chums
Gigolos, stick-thin models, hanging off their arms
I guess I'm neck deep in it, I'm starting to drown
Along with all the wannabes in swinging London Town

Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Really, really know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Really really know me?

Soho soaks drink Campari
Free flowing bubbly, a drop of gin
Cocktails with price tags make you choke on your sushi
Dressed to impress, these bright young things,
Chelsea chicks, drink white wine spritzers
G&T's or bottled beer
Horray Henry's cruising the King's Road
In daddy's bentley still full of E:
E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E...

Do you know the me the that face graces pages of Hello?
Try hard to die hard, united on the goal
Air kissing eligible bachelors and trust fund daddy's boys
International playgirl showing off their toys

And all these price tag starlets, a galaxy of stars
Buzzing around the next big thing and taking off their clothes
I guess I'm neck deep in it, I'm starting to drown
Along with all the wannabes in Swing London town
Swinging London Town
Swinging London Town
Swinging London Town
Swinging London Town

I read your manifestoes and your strange religious tracts.
You took me to your library and kissed me in the stacks.

Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back

You couldn't grok my racecar, but you dug the roadside blur.
You weren't into my airplane, but you loved the whirling world.

Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back

Planets crash, the world goes nova,
Sun explodes, all goes black.
You went off swinging London and forgot to come back
