[Verse 1]:
Ride away from Holloway
I said "Mum, this isn't a holiday
Listen up, I ain't coming back
Till I can fill the shack up with all gold plaques."
Soon come, home run, whack!
Knock it out the park with a baseball bat

[Pre-Chorus]:
When I'm driving on the wrong side of the road
I feel like JFK you know

[Chorus]:
I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Doing things the American way, yay yay
I never thought I'd be living in the USA
Living the dream like a London Queen (oi!)

[Verse 2]:
Now I live in Hollywood
I can't stop even though I know I should
It feels so good, oh yeah, oh oh

[Pre-Chorus]

Chorus (2x)

[Post-Chorus]:
Living the dream like a London Queen (oi!)
Living the dream like a London Queen (oi!)
Living the dream like a London Queen (oi!)
Living the dream like a London Queen

[Bridge]
Oi, oi, oi (whack)
Oi, oi, oi (whack)

[Chorus](2x) + [Post-Chorus]

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
