C Fmaj7 Dm Am G x4

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
mmmm reebok classics and
Canons at dawn
Terrible Warlords and good warlords
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…
Bedtown, Oldham, Nunthorpe, Rowlam, Bristol
Anywhere in albion

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