London Town (04:10)
Wings • London Town
Walking down the sidewalk on a purple afternoon
I was accosted by a barker playing a simple tune
Upon his flute - toot toot toot toot

Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town

People pass me by on my imaginary street
Ordinary people it's impossible to meet
Holding conversations that are always incomplete
Well, I don't know
Oh where are there places to go
Someone somewhere has to know
I don't know

Out of work again the actor entertains his wife
With the same old stories of his ordinary life
Maybe he exaggerates the trouble and the strife
Well, I don't know
Oh, where are there places to go
Someone somewhere has to know

Crawling down the pavement on a Sunday afternoon
I was arrested by a rozzer wearing a pink balloon
About his foot - toot toot toot toot

Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town

Someone somewhere has to know
Silver rain was falling down
Upon the dirty ground of London Town

Cafe on the Left Bank (03:27)
Wings • London Town
Cafe on the left bank, ordinary wine
Touching all the girls with your eyes
Tiny crowd of frenchmen round a tv shop
Watching charles de gaulle make a speech
Dancing after midnight, sprawling to the car
Continental breakfast in the bar
English-speaking people drinking german beer
Talking far too loud for their ears

Cafe on the left bank, ordinary wine
Touching all the girls with your eyes

Dancing after midnight, crawling to the car
Cocktail waitress waiting in the bar
English-speaking people drinking german beer
Talking way too loud for their ears

I'm Carrying (02:44)
Wings • London Town
By dawn's first light I'll come back to your room again
With my carnation hidden by the packages
I'm carrying, something
I'm carrying something for you

Ah, long time no see baby, sure has been a while
And if my reappearance lacks a send of style
I'm carrying, something
I'm carrying something for you

I'm carrying
I'm carrying, can't help it

I'm carrying
I'm carrying something for you

I've Had Enough (03:06)
Wings • London Town
You're talking to me from the back of the car
And I can't get nothing right
And then you wonder why I stand at the bar
Day and night

Chorus

I've had enough
I can't put up with any more
No no no no no no no
I've had enough
I can't put up with any more
No no no no no no no

You stand behind me with a watch in your hand
And I can't get nothing done
Well, people tell me you're a punctual man
But come on

Chorus

I earn the money and you take it away
When I don't know where you're from
I should be worried but they say
It'll pay for a bomb

Chorus

I've had enough

Baby you know sometimes you get a little weary
But if it ever happens honey
You just come along to me
Because you know

Chorus

With a Little Luck (05:46)
Wings • London Town
With a little luck, we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
With a little love, we can lay it down
Can't you feel the town exploding?

There is no end to what we can do together
There is no end, there is no end
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you

And a little luck, we can clear it up
We can bring it in for a landing
With a little luck, we can turn it on
There can be no misunderstanding

There is no end to what we can do together
There is no end, there is no end
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you

With a little push, we could set it off
We can send it rocketing skywards
With a little love, we could shake it up
Don't you feel the comet exploding?

With a little luck
With a little luck
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck
With a little luck
With a little luck
With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck

Famous Groupies (03:36)
Wings • London Town
All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

Behold the famous groupies
They are alike as two peas
And where the other goes, the other goes
But though the famous groupies
Are only paid in rupees
Nobody knows what the famous groupies know
And nobody goes where the famous groupies go

There was a bongo player
Who kept an extra layer
Of Dunlopillo mattress in his van
But when the famous groupies
Arrived with their twin snoopies
Nobody saw which way the poor boy ran
Nobody does it like a famous groupie can

All stand back, let the people see
Take a snap of the famous groupies for me

There was a lead guitarist
Who lived in Epping Forest
And all he ever wanted was to blow
When the girls were with him
He never lost his rhythm
And nobody knows what the famous groupies know
Nobody goes where the famous groupies go

There was a classic story
Of a roadie named Rory
Who used to practice voodoo on the side
When the famous twosome
Suggested something gruesome
All that they found was a crater two miles wide
Which left the music business absolutely horrified

Ladies and gentlemen, those magnificent examples of
female pulchritude and luminosity, direct from t heir
Global perambulations to the very boards of this
supremely magnificent proscenium arch - ladies and
gentlemen; I give you Famous Groupies

Deliver Your Children (04:18)
Wings • London Town
Well, the rain was a falling
And the ground turned to mud
I was watching all the people
Running from the flood
So I started to prayin
Though I ain't no prayin man
For the Lord to come a helpin
Knowing he'd understand

Deliver your children to the good good life
Give'em peace and shelter and a fork and knife
Shine a light in the morning and a light at night
And if a thing goes wrong you'd better make it right

Well, I had a woman
She was good and clean
She spent all day with the washing machine
But when it came to lovin
She was never around
She out getting dirty
All over town

Well, I was low on money
And my truck broke down
I was on my way to the lost and found
So I took it to a deal
I said make it run
Well, I ain't got no money
But I got me a gun

I said you robbed me before
So I'm robbing you back
And if it don't put you straight
It'll put you on the right track
Well, I ain't no devil and I ain't no saint
But I can tell a dealer by the colour of his paint

Well, I was low on money
And my truck broke down
I was on my way to the lost and found
So I took it to a deal
I said make it run
Well, I ain't got no money
But I got me a gun

If you want good eggs
You gotta feed that hen
And if you wanna hear some more
Well, I'll sing it again

Name and Address (03:09)
Wings • London Town
Our Love Affair Was Over On The Second Day
You Packed A Bag And Like A Birdie Flew Away
Meanwhile I'm Sitting Here, I'm Getting In A Mess
If You Want My Love, Leave Your Name And Address
I Used To Love You Baby, When I Was Your Man
But Maybe Loving You Is Something No One Man Can Do
Meanwhile I'm Sitting Here, I'm Getting In A Mess
If You Want My Love, Leave Your Name And Address

Love To Feel The Tingle Of Your Heavenly Caresses
Love To Intermingle, A Lonely Single Without Addresses
If You Want My Love, Leave Your Name And Address

But If It's All Over Baby, You Know I'll Understand
Maybe I'll Hate To Think Of You With Another Man
Meanwhile I'm Sitting Here, I'm Getting In A Mess
If You Want My Love, Leave Your Name And Address

Morse Moose and the Grey Goose (06:24)
Wings • London Town
Right On Down At The Bottom Of The Sea
Tell Me Are You Receiving Me?
My Name Is Morse Moose And I'm Calling You
The Grey Goose Was A Steady Boat
People Said She's Never Float
One Night When The Moon Was High
The Grey Goose Flew Away

As We Were Sailing 'Round The Rocks
The Mate Took Out His Compass Box
And Said The Wind Is Like A Fox
But The Grey Goose Flew Away

When Out Upon The Open Sea
The Admiral, The Mate And Me
Prepared To Face Eternity
But The Grey Goose Flew Away

She Flew Into The Stormy Sea
Davy Jones Was Calling Me
But Heading For Tranquility
The Grey Goose Flew Away
