[Verse 1]
I went up to the Hollywood hills
The sun was shining and the sky was blue
I thought this is no place for me
You can dream what you like
This is not my history

[Verse 2]
This is the place where stars have died
This is the place where madmen reside
There's a drunk shouting 'bout who must die
What the hell do I know about this life?

[Chorus]
Oh, get me on the next plane home
London, all is forgiven
Two weeks shaking hands with fools
Well what a way to earn a living

[Verse 3]
I went out to see Marilyn's grave
Stuck in a wall and they didn't even know her name
There's just a stone in the vault of the sky
Lay me down below mountains when I die

[Chorus]
Now, get me on the next plane home
London, all is forgiven
This place don't shine, never did
And it's no place to earn a living
[Bridge]
When the top dogs send for me
I won't cry, though they show me their teeth
My ground I'll stand
I got my plane ticket in my other hand

[Verse 4]
So the next day I flew home
And no one had noticed I had been gone
Tinseltown you lost your bet
But taught me something I won't forget

[Chorus]
And now I'm home
London, I'll never bother
With a place who's motto is
Another day, another dollar

[Outro]
Another day, another dollar
The colonels lead and the President follows
Another day, another dollar
The colonels lead and the President follows
Another day, another dollar
Another day, another dollar
