Life in London is bittersweet
Spray can slogans along the street
Some kind of revolution in the town
Razor blades and safety pins make you look like a clown
What's goin' down
Is just the same old sound
You know that energy
Has always been my drug for me
You know , I came across a lot of water
Just to see, if it could be
The place to go, the life for me
I changed my dollars into pounds
And now that drink is gonna cost me fifty P
But the district line just doesn't seem
To be going as far as I'd like to go today
And I've met a lot of great people
I guess that's one thing that will never change
People are people wherever you go
Now you wanna know why, it's 'cause I'm telling you so
But I'd like to see, some peace and harmony
Well, everybody thinks differently
But that shouldn't mean a thing
Shouldn't mean a thing
Pack up my suitcase, I gotta go
Back to a land that I think I know
Bring something with me
Leave something behind
Oh, life in London's at the back of my mind
But the District Line just doesn't seem
To be running as far as I'd
Like to go today

Noto per il suo stile blues-rock energico e influenzato da Jimi Hendrix, ha raggiunto la fama negli anni '70 con la sua band, la Pat Travers Band. La formazione ha visto collaborare con musicisti di spicco come Pat Thrall, Nicko McBrain (futuro batterista dei Iron Maiden), Tommy Aldridge, Peter "Mars" Cowling, Jerry Riggs e Carmine Appice. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di Travers figurano "Boom Chicka Boom", "Snortin' Whiskey", e "I Can't Hold On". L'album di debutto omonimo del 1976 ha segnato l'inizio della sua carriera, seguito da successi come "Live!" (1977) e "Makin' Magic" (1978).
