I don't know what I was looking for and I'm not sure I found it I left a note to my dad saying "I will be gone for about ten days or more" With my Washburn guitar in a hard case and a bag full of women's clothes I bought a stand-by ticket to the airport in Stansted It felt like I was home I exchanged my Swedish money I exchanged my Swedish life And I exchanged my Swedish gender But I kept the Swedish sin I got a dirty old room at the Avon Hotel and the doves woke me up in the morning And I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or above I put my make up on and I went out on the street I found a club for people like me
And for an hour there I was a British queen dancing to the British accent So London took my virginity And London took my breath away And London took my past But London left me the Swedish sin Suddenly I heard this voice inside saying "you're falling into disgrace" You weren't raised to behave this way I started crying as I left the place So London took my virginity And London took my breath away And London took my past But London left me the Swedish sin So London took my virginity And London took my breath away And London took my past But London left me the Swedish sin
