London Lyrics

Lyrics by Alanis Morissette 

What it feels to fall in to the pool 
The hard shell bugs bite my forearm 
My right index fingernail chewed to the quick 
My cervix is a long one 
My sprinklers go off at 6pm each day 
And sometimes they spray unsuspecting visitors 
My pimples are goosehairs all over my legs 
My brow is furrowed and my vision is blurred 
And how I do love London 
And how I do love London 

The birds make guttural sounds and protect me 
My friends come to visit and love me a lot 
I don't have the energy to fill this 
I am like flight attendants on a 12 hour flight 
And how I do love London 
And how I do love London 

I am intrigued by the boy with songs 
sometimes they write sometimes they write not 
The steam will smell of eucalyptus in the shower 
The hug will feel forced upon you, inconsolable thing 
And how I do love London 
And how I do love London 

Deep breaths will not make my brain stand still 
To be loved and swallowed are single and depraved 
I love speaking French to the taxi drivers 
We slept and were cold on the train out of France 
And how I do love London 
And how I do love London
