Albion - Babyshambles
Written by:Pete Doherty
Oh 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
Oh anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets
And an English song
Reebok classics
And canons at dawn
Terrible warlords good warlords
And an English song
Oh 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 Newcastle
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 won't you come away
We'll go to
Bedtown Oldham Nunthorpe Rowlam Bristol
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
Anywhere in Albion
