Jools Holland - Oranges And Lemons Again lyrics

Oh it's the crooked leg, the crooked mile The hotel lift and the menacing smile The energy of an itinerant child To catch a glimpse of Mr. Oscar Wilde Waterborn Southend on Sea Twisted bend, this ability Lord Upminster Bo Diddley and Richard the Third With the most unroyal mouth you ever heard He's never gonna do it, oh he has an' all They're smiling politely, but they're really appalled And it's turned out oranges and lemons again All three bells in a row We're in and out of the Eagle And up and down the City Road Sweet Gene Vincent, mean old Ronnie Kray The low slung slouch of the bird of prey Trouser pocket boys in unromantic places Cigarettes falling from sallow faces He's never gonna do it, oh he has an' all They're smiling politely, but they're really appalled And it's turned out oranges and lemons again All three bells in a row We're in and out of the Eagle Up and down the City Road Lurking in the doorways of every town Rough kids rally with sorrows drowned Burnt out faces and their ash tray eyes Up goes the cry through the perforated sky He's never gonna do it, oh he has an' all They're smiling politely, but they're really appalled And it's turned out oranges and lemons again All three bells in a row We're in and out of the Eagle Up and down the City Road He's never gonna do it, oh he has an' all They're smiling politely, but they're really appalled And it's turned out oranges and lemons again All three bells in a row We're in and out of the Eagle Up and down the City Road
