Babyshambles - Albion lyrics

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 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

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
