Mini Skirts and Mayhem

(Verse 1)

Tube doors sigh, another Monday crush,

Love dreams deferred, in a hurried blush.

Tights laddered again, a fashion crime,

Another day begins, lost in London time.

Blonde hair bobbing, a defiant gleam,

A silent rebellion, a waking dream.

He's reading the paper, oblivious and grand,

While she's plotting escape, to a faraway land.

(Chorus)

Oh, the irony of it all, the mini skirt's decree,

A symbol of freedom, or just absurdity?

London's a stage, and we're all playing parts,

With shattered expectations and mendable hearts.

Love in the city, a twisted game,

Where affection is fleeting, and passion's a flame.

(Verse 2)

He spills his coffee, on his pinstripe suit,

A minor disaster, bearing bitter fruit.

She stifles a giggle, a mischievous glance,

He thinks she's impressed, by his corporate dance.

The billboards are screaming, promises so bold,

But her story's untold, and forever to unfold.

Another station, a collective groan,

The daily grind, has us all on our own.

(Chorus)

Oh, the irony of it all, the mini skirt's decree,

A symbol of freedom, or just absurdity?

London's a stage, and we're all playing parts,

With shattered expectations and mendable hearts.

Love in the city, a twisted game,

Where affection is fleeting, and passion's a flame.

(Bridge)

She imagines a beach, in the tropical sun,

Where deadlines and mortgages, can't outrun.

He dreams of promotion, a corner office view,

While the pigeons are laughing, 'cause they know it ain't true.

The underground rumbles, a dissonant tune,

A soundtrack to yearning, beneath the pale moon.

(Verse 3)

Another swipe of lipstick, in the train's reflection,

A touch of defiance, a self-made perfection.

He checks his emails, a furrowed brow,

Lost in the numbers, right here and now.

She sees a street performer, with a painted face,

And recognises the sadness, in this crowded place.

A burst of laughter, a brief reprieve,

From the charade we're living, the stories we weave.

(Chorus)

Oh, the irony of it all, the mini skirt's decree,

A symbol of freedom, or just absurdity?

London's a stage, and we're all playing parts,

With shattered expectations and mendable hearts.

Love in the city, a twisted game,

Where affection is fleeting, and passion's a flame.

(Bridge)

He loosens his tie, a moment of doubt,

Is this all there is, what life's about?

She closes her eyes, and whispers a prayer,

For something authentic, beyond compare.

The train screeches to a halt, the doors open wide,

A thousand souls scatter, with nowhere to hide.

(Chorus)

Oh, the irony of it all, the mini skirt's decree,

A symbol of freedom, or just absurdity?

London's a stage, and we're all playing parts,

With shattered expectations and mendable hearts.

Love in the city, a twisted game,

Where affection is fleeting, and passion's a flame.

(Outro)

The mini skirt twirls, as she steps into the day,

Leaving love dreams behind, along the London way.

The city awakens, with a cynical smile,

Another day begins, for a little while.
