Down in Albion
Ah, 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


Aah, gin in teacups
And leaves on the lawn
Violence in dole queues

And the pale thin girl behind the checkout

But if you're looking for a cheap sort

Glint with perspiration
There's a four-mile queue
Outside the disused power station

Now come away, won't you come away
We'll go to
Deptford, Digbeth, Tuebrook

Anywhere in Albion

Yellowing classics



And canons at dawn

coffee wallows and pith helmets
and oh an English sun


Yellowing classics
And canons at dawn
coffee wallows and pith helmets

and oh an English sun

But if you're looking for a cheap sort

That's in false anticipation
It'll be waiting in the photo booth
At the railway station


Ah come away, won't you come away
We're going to...

Watford, Enfields
Anywhere oh


If you're looking for a cheap sort
That's in false anticipation
It'll be waiting in the photo booth

At the underground station

Oh come away, won't you come away

We're going to...
