Albion lyrics

Artist  : Babyshambles 
Song : Albion



 Send "Albion" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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...





Demo Version



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 talk

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, Digby...

Anywhere in Albion 



Yellowing classics

And canons at dawn

...

Reebok classics

And canons at dawn

... 



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, London Fields

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
