Measure by measure, drop by drop
And pound for pound, we’re taking stock
Of all the treasure still unlocked
The love you found must never stop
Selling England by the pound
God save the queen
She ain’t no human being
There is no future
In England’s dreaming
England swings like a pendulum do,
Bobbies on bicycles, two by two,
Westminster Abbey the tower of Big Ben,
The rosy red cheeks of the little children.
So turn your back, and wiggle softly from me!.
With mini-skirt, (perhaps, no underwear!).
Your legs are great! But, by the Gods above me!.
I watch your wondrous London derriere!
There she was just walkin’ down the street
Singin’, “Do wah diddy, diddy, dum diddy do”
The only one I see, is mine when she walks down our street
The only one I see, has carved her way into me
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet:
Walk on by, walk on by.
If I cross your path again, who knows where, who knows when
On some morning without number, on some highway without end
Don’t grasp my hand and say “Fate has brought you here today”
Oh fate is only fooling with us, friend
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don’t see just where we’re goin’.
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again.
Don’t leave me alone in the twilight
The twilight is the loneliest time of day
Lonely, I’m so lonely
I feel so alone
I feel low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so silly and low
I skipped the part about love
It seems so shallow and low
Low, low, low
Shallow, shallow, give it to me
Scissors cutting out your anger
Shallow, shallow, no good to me, not if you bleed
Bite your tongue, ignore the splinter
So bite your tongue
You’re not the only one
Who’s been let down
You’re just an antenna, you’re just a wire
There’s a thousand tongues wagging in your ears tonight
And you turn around and you call me a liar
Can you remember, remember my name?
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.
One million salt seas
Recalled from school atlas
Alas would be filled to the brim
Sunny Jim couldn’t jump it
Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
Across the waves, across the water, reaching out for you
Hands across the ocean, reaching out for you
Across the waves, across the water
Hands, across the ocean
