Lyrics

Across The River Thames

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Good taste at times I've sometimes lacked

I won't deny the truth

I got dressed up as Donald Duck

Making up for my repressed youth

Disco balls and spandex pants

On questionable friends

Disco died but how the fog still rolled across the River Thames

Snarling they just came along

And cut us to the quick

Called us a bunch of dinosaurs

And gave us a load of sticks

Told us that the times was changing

And all good things must end

But I'm still here and the fog still rolls across the River Thames

Nelson's on his column

Ravens are in the Tower

Big Ben never lost his voice

Chimes on every hour

And the fog still rolls off the River Thames

The forecast calls for rain

London Bridge ain't falling down

And some things never change

The black-faced boys were holding tight

And Thatcher's in a noose

Hair got teased beyond belief

In the age of the golden goose

The new romantics claimed the throne

And we were wondering when

But they lost their crown and the fog still rolled across the River Thames

Nelson's on his column

Ravens are in the Tower

Big Ben never lost his voice

Chimes on every hour

And the fog still rolls off the River Thames

The forecast calls for rain

London Bridge ain't falling down

And some things never change

Big bold letters screaming out

A scandal in the house

Dogs without their vocal chords

Careers going south

What the eye can't see the eye invents

The truth was meant to bend

But nothing changed and the fog still rolled across the River Thames

Nelson's on his column

Ravens are in the Tower

Big Ben never lost his voice

Chimes on every hour

And the fog still rolls off the River Thames

The forecast calls for rain

London Bridge ain't falling down

And some things never change
