Biography

Girls Aloud are a British girl group that were created on the ITV1 talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002. The group, consisting of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Walsh, have been successful in achieving a string of 20 consecutive UK Top 10 singles (including four number ones), two UK number one albums, and having been nominated for four BRIT Awards, winning Best Single in 2009 for "The Promise". In March 2013, just a few hours after having performed their final concert at Echo Arena Liverpool, the five announced and confirmed their breakup on Twitter. In August 2020, Sarah Harding announced that she had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer and that it had now spread to the rest of her body. In early 2021, doctors revealed she would not see another christmas and on the morning of 5th September 2021 she passed away peacefully. The group reformed as a 4 piece in November 2023 to announce a 2024 UK Arena tour.

LYRICS

Do you know the mean of weeks can seize the live wire in her eyes
The it girl with a twist girl and no one realises
That I'm living on a tightrope, I can't, I won't look down
I pussy-foot from drink to drink in swinging London town
Do you know the mean of ways and places? Faces I've never seen
The mother of all hangovers to remind me where I've been
And if I stop, I'm sickened, it really gets me down
So I step back into the city lights, the Queen of London town

The Queen of London town
The Queen of London town

New York, Monacco, Paris and Milan
Poor little rich girl who does it cos she can
I'm just a big time Gucci girl, a thirst in retail therapy
Now we're down the slide to rehab, and all the gear for free
And with these joke filled egos, Martini sipping charm
Gigolos, slipping models hanging off their arm
And yes I'm neck deep in it, I'm starting to drown
Along with all the wannabes in swinging London town

Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Really really know me?

Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Do you know me?
Really really know me?

Do you know me?
Really really know me?

Soho soaks drink Campari
Free flowing bubbly, a drop of gin
Cocktails with price tags make you choke on your sushi
Dressed to impress these bright young things
Chelsea chicks drink white wine spritzers
G & T's or a bottle of beer
?? crusing the Kings's road
And daddy's Bently stocked full of gear

Gear, gear, gear, gear
Gear, gear, gear, gear

Do you know the need to face ??
Try hard to die hard, united on the go
Air kissing eligible bachelors, trust fund daddy's boys
International playgirls showing off their toys

And all these price tag starlets, a galaxy of stars
Buzzing round the next big thing and taking off their clothes
I guess I'm neck deep in it, I'm starting to drown
Along the wannabes in swinging London town

Swinging London town
Swinging London town
Swinging London town
