Down in Albion
They're black and blue
But we don't talk about that
Are you from 'round here?
How do you do?
I'd quite like to talk about that
Talk over Gin in teacups and
Leaves on the lawn
Violence in bus stops
And the pale thin girl with eyes forlorn
More Gin in teacups and
Leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues
And the pale thin girl
Behind the checkout
If you're looking for a cheap type
Set in false anticipation
Been waiting in the photo booth
At the underground station
Oh come away, let's get away
Could go to... Deptford,
Catford, Watford,
Gillingham, Nuneaton
Anywhere in Albion
Yellowing classics and canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And an English song
Reebok classics
Outside Ladbrokes at dawn
Next to Paddy Power
An English song
And if you're waiting for that cheap sort
A glint with perspiration
There's a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station
Oh come away, oh didn't you promise we'd get away
Could go to...
Southampton
Or South London
East London
North London
Norfolk
West London
Or to Newcastle
They're still waiting for a cheap tart
Glint in perspiration
There's a five-mile queue
Outside your disused power station
Oh come away
Oh, you promised we'd get away
Could wind up in..
Dagenham, Sidcup
Finsbury, Sheffield
NorthField, Manchester
Chichester, Doncaster
Anywhere in Albion
