    Oh 
    Jean- 
    Paul 
    he came 
    over 

    from 
    Toulouse 

    They told 
    him 
    that

    was the 
    golden 
    goose 

    He 
    nev

    er 
    did 
    get

    up 
    off 
    the 
    street 

    Wanted 
    to 
    be 
    a rap 
    DJ 

    They took 
    his 
    pulse 
    then 

    they turned 
    him 
    away 

    Under 
    the 
    radar 
    of 
    your fel
    low 
    man 

    With 
    all 
    that 
    charisma it ain't 

    worth 
    a damn 

    Saying 
    "Lend 
    me your

    fare 
    back 
    home"

    about 
    everything 

    She tried 
    to dance, 
    she

    to 
    sing 

    Too 
    many 
    doors 
    slammed 
    in 
    your 
    face 

    It 
    leaves 
    a nasty 
    af
    tertaste 

    You scramble 
    around 
    for 

    a little 
    bit 
    of cash 

    Ease 
    the pain 
    with 
    Mister 
    Flash 

    Saint 
    Annes 
    Court 
    is the 
    ren
    dezvous 

    For 
    those 
    who 
    share 

    your 
    point 
    of 
    view 

    Saying 
    "This 
    is 
    the 
    last 

    time 
    you 
    will 
    see 
    me 

    Never 
    again 
    no 
    way 

    One 
    more 
    time 
    I'll 
    never 

    ask 
    you 
    again 

    I've just 
    got 
    to 
    get 

    through 
    today"

    Interlude 3


    Verse 4
    Oh 
    Mickey 
    he 
    sleeps 
    every 

    two 
    or 
    three 
    days 

    Runs 
    through 
    Soho 
    like 
    a rat 
    through 
    a 
    maze 

    A 
    little 
    blackmail 
    here 
    a 

    sting 
    on 
    the side 

    Enough 
    to get 
    started 
    on 
    the 

    next 
    enterprise 

    Dresses 
    expensive 
    but 

    that's 
    just 
    a crutch 

    Like 
    his word 
    or his 
    handshake 

    it 
    doesn't 
    mean 
    much 

    De
    pends 
    on his 
    kickback from 

    the 
    middle 
    man 

    And 
    whatever 
    he 
    can 
    beat 

    out 
    of 
    Sally 
    Ann 

    Saying 
    "Lucky 
    I'm 
    the one 
    you ran 
    in
    to 

    Oh 
    lucky 
    I've 
    taken 
    a shine 

    Lucky 
    I'm 
    needing 
    a 
    part
    ner 

    50 50 right 

    down 
    the 
    line" 

    Oh 
    that's 
    the sights 
    and 
    sounds 

    of 
    Lon
    don 
    Town 

    The sights 
    and 
    sounds 
    of 

    Lon
    don 
    Town 

    The sight 
    and 
    sounds 
    of 
    Lon

    don 
    Town

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
