Livin’ in London Town

Ah Yeah Livin’ in London Town [rpt]

Precious moments are nearly in my hand

Flying quickly towards the Promised Land

Need the bright lights to keep my spirit strong

I never worry coz I know where I’m going

Chorus

Moving Up Livin’ in London Town

Keeping it up - feet don’t touch the ground

Sure enough it’s going round and round

Keeping it hot - livin’ in London livin’ in London livin’ in London

Livin’ in London Town

All the angels in heaven are floating round

Hold me tightly cuz I can hear that sound

All the people who never had a chance

I can see them ten thousand people dance

Moving Up ……

Bridge

On and on the beat don’t seem to stop

We’ll keep on going til we reach the top

All around me I feel trouble and pain

But I still feel the same about my love

Moving Up ……

Notes: I have always been excited about London and this Gospel-inspired song is just about being able to drive around the city at night and playing gigs in Town.

I have recorded this song lots of times with different tempos, feels and key signatures so this 2011 recording is a relatively down tempo funky version in A flat Major featuring Gospel organ and horn section.

I recorded it again in 2022 for Lily the Musical as "Precious Moments" this time in G Major with latin percussion by Yosmany Gonzalez
