Ive swept the floors of all my kings Ive opened doors and let the tourists in Days of wine and roses Prime ministers, red robes These days are gone
Ive stood on guard as my queens were born
Ive cut the grass on many english lawns
Of strawberries and ice cream Of cricket and cold beer
These days London towers burning. parliaments ablaze Buckingham palace has gone Somewhere in the distance my darling shes a crying I should be by her side
This is the day the ravens left the tower This is the day the ravens fly away
Fly away, fly away. Fly away, fly away. Fly away
Ive stood on the changing of the guards To the bloody tower watching the crown jewels A penny for the guy sir? Will you vote left or right? These days
London bridge is falling. St. pauls cathedral bums The tower blocks are gone Somewhere in the distance my darlings shes a crying I should be by her side.
