Cutting Corners - Lyrics - Hanoi Rocks

Hanoi Rocks was a Finnish hard rock band formed in 1979, whose most successful period came in the early 1980s. The band broke up in 1985 after their drummer Nicholas "Razzle" Dingley died in a car accident a year earlier. Original members vocalist Michael Monroe and guitarist Andy McCoy reunited in 2001 and were active with the new line-up of Hanoi Rocks until 2009.

London is grey But it's great in it's way If you're just barrelling through You find a first class boiler And she boils your cares away Well, life is a gas But the laughs never last So you add a handful of blues Now that's a first class ticket If you wanna get away 'Cos if you hang around the greys and browns They'll just bring you down Well, it's a useless rap you got to cut the crap Go directly to the things that matter to you Have to cut corners or fade away Have to cut corners or fade away Going through channels In ties and grey flannels Just slows everything down And when I want a thing I want it right away Going straight for the heart Tears your wardrobe apart But it wears the other guy down I may look a mess But I'm dressed to get my way
