Renè Berg - London Town (demo)

One of the best Berg's songs, melanchonic and bittersweet, but unfortunately never properly recorded. It was planned to be included in the follow up of "the leather, the loneliness and your dark eyes" which sadly never saw the light of the day.
Berg was a very talented but unlucky musician. He played with Hanoi Rocks (after Razzle's death), Suicide Twins, Nasty Suicide and many others but never got the fame he deserved. May he rest in peace.

Lyrics:

A sad girl wipes the city dirt from her eyes
and gazes at the bloodshot skies closed
pulls up an open ray
and gulfs to the sound of distant train
she's lonely, the girl who hopes and prays for the boys
and listens to the fun fairs noise of silence, screams of children
and babies playing where somebody killed them
aah, loo

London town, what have you done? You've fallen apart
London town, see what you've done
You tore me apart, you've broken my heart
London town, a deadly disease there's no one around
London town, your down on your knees
you've fallen down

Slowly, she slides the needle into her arm
the drug is the love that charms her body
masked her feelings beneath the arches
who hears her screaming?

London town, what have you done? You've fallen apart
London town, see what you've done
You tore me apart, you've broken my heart
London town, a deadly disease there's no one around
London town, your down on your knees
you've fallen down

Sometimes she feels that there's no point in going on with every whisper
sometimes the voices say where did it all go wrong and who would listen?

Softly, they drag her body out of Tyne's
And try to find some friends who'd mourn her, someone who knew her
the city claims another loser
ahh, and I don't know

London town, what have you done? You've fallen apart
London town, see what you've done
You tore me apart, you've broken my heart
London town, a deadly disease there's no one around
London town, your down on your knees
you've fallen down

London town, a deadly disease there's no one around
London town, your down on your knees
you've fallen down (Repeat 2x)

London town, your down on your knees
You've fallen down

A sad girl wipes the city dirt from her eyes
