VERSE 1
-------
               
 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 at bus stops, and a pale thin girl with eyes forlorn
                       
 More gin in teacups, and leaves on the lawn
                             
 Violence in dole queues and a pale thin girl,

behind the checkout...

Chorus
-------
               			                  
 But 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 or Watford, Digberth, Mansfield
                  
Anywhere in Albion...

                                   
  Anywhere in Albion... Anywhere in Albion...

Verse 2

Yellowing classics and

Canons at dawn
                              
Coffee wallahs and pith helmets

And, an English song

Chorus
-------
               		                            
 But if you're looking for a cheap sort all glint with perspiration
                                                
There's a four mile queue outside the disused powerstation
                                       
 So come away, o say you'll come away and go to...

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


               		                              
 But if you're looking for a cheap tart don't glint with perspiration
                                                
There's a five mile queue outside the disused powerstation
                                        
Now come away, won't you come away we'll go to...
