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 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 sort

Set in false anticipation

I'll be waiting in the photo booth

At the underground station

So come away, won't you come away

We could go to...

Deptford, Catford, Watford, Digberth, Mansfield

Ahh anywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion

Yellowing classics

And canons at dawn

Coffee wallahs and pith helmets

And an English song

Mmm... Reebok classics

And canons at dawn

Terrible warlords, good Warlords

And an English song

Oo if you're looking for a cheap sort

All glint with perspiration

There's a four-mile queue

Outside the disused power station

Now come away, oh say you'll come away

We'll go to...

Satsworth, Senford, Weovil, Woomoyle, NEW-CAST-LE

If you are looking for a cheap tart

Don't glint with perspiration

There's a five-mile queue

Outside the disused power station

Now come away (away), won't you come away

We'll go to...

Bedtown, Oldham, Nunthorpe, Rowlam, Bristol

Aaa-nywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion

Anywhere in Albion...
