    Story Behind the Song
    True story:

    With this album, namely "5", I actually thought
    up the titles to the songs before I wrote the
    songs.. I did.. ..matter of fact, I thought
    up the titles while simulaneously DESIGNING THE
    INSIDE SLEEVE FOR THE ALBUM. This is true.

    So I sat there lookin at the artwork for the
    inside sleeve...
    reading the titles I'd just thought up...
    ..and I looked at this one "Tower Of London"
    and there was something about it..
    ..I almost got a shiver...
    ..this was Before 9-11.

    ..all I knew was,
    it was gonna be one heluva song.

    ...I was right.

    ~Lesley

    Lyrics
    Tower Of London

    Alright, let's do it..
    1...2...

    Balloon rides aren't these days
    Allowed on the freeway
    Can't hold on to my green way
    Besides the in-between way

    And nasty bitches with a loaded mouth
    They make their riches sellin North for South

    They wear a frown and tell you it's perfect
    Shoot us down, and say we deserve it
    But meanwhile I hear it coming
    We can't hide in the Tower Of London

    I'll drop a dime and warn you
    Oh, I forgot....now it's a quarter
    They say my name's 'informer'
    I'm better off than a foot-warmer

    And I don't give a damn how much you shout
    I pulled the plug and threw my radio out

    They wear a frown and tell you it's perfect
    Shoot us down, and say we deserve it
    But meanwhile I hear it coming
    We can't hide in the Tower Of London

    (I married m p 3 )

    And who the hell decided love is,
    Cheap
    What does it matter
    When we're all blind,
    Sheep

    They wear a frown and tell you it's perfect
    Shoot us down, and say we deserve it
    But meanwhile I hear it coming;
    We Can't Hide!

    Just call me Ruby Tuesday
    Whoopie!
    This is my Duesday!
    I don't much care what they say
    All they can do is nay-say

    With my last breath I'm gonna
    Stomp it out
    I'll take this soap and wash
    Your mouth right out

    They wear a frown and tell you it's perfect
    Shoot us down, and say we deserve it
    But meanwhile I hear it coming
    We can't hide in the Tower Of London

    In the Tower Of London
    In the Tower Of London
