0:15How many cups of wine
0:17Will I have consumed
0:19The people realise
0:20They have rolled past my tomb
0:22We're drinking whisky
0:23In a brave new afternoon
0:26The people realise
0:27They have rolled past my tomb
0:30Strike a light
0:32Raise your glasses
0:34Drink a toast to the boring classes
0:37On the albion-ay
0:40Spew it out your soul
0:42Love is on the dole
0:44And there she will stay
1:03Only you battered your broken nose
1:04On the grindstone
1:07You wake a slave you squandered
1:08So your soul is not your own
1:10I run from the dust and gloom
1:12With only my secrets
1:13To keep me warm
1:14That's all I could do
1:15To keep them from you
1:16And its all a pact we swore
1:18Strike a light
1:20Raise your glasses
1:22Drink a toast to the boring classes
1:25With albion-ay
1:28Spew it out your soul
1:30Love is on the dole
1:31And there she will stay
1:37All night long we were singing
1:41Northern songs
1:44All night long we were singing
1:48Northern songs
1:52And I love every inch of you
1:55Yes I do love every single
1:58Inch of you
1:59But doesn't she get
2:00That warm glow inside
2:02Shoots up your spine and blows
2:04Through your mind
2:06Oh well don't you tell me
2:07How blessed are the poor
2:10You've always wanted one slice more
2:31My darling was a preacher on
2:33The Albion stage
2:35She might have been a preacher
2:36In the good old days
2:39We're drinking whisky
2:40In a brave new afternoon
2:43Don't people realise
2:44They've rolled past my tomb
2:47Don't you tell me how blessed
2:48Are the meek
2:50You never turn the other cheek
2:53Once in your life
2:56Love is on the dole
How many cups of wine Will I have consumed The people realise They have rolled past my tomb We're drinking whisky In a brave new afternoon The people realise They have rolled past my tomb Strike a light Raise your glasses Drink a toast to the boring classes On the albion-ay Spew it out your soul Love is on the dole And there she will stay Only you battered your broken nose On the grindstone You wake a slave you squandered So your soul is not your own I run from the dust and gloom With only my secrets To keep me warm That's all I could do To keep them from you And its all a pact we swore Strike a light Raise your glasses Drink a toast to the boring classes With albion-ay Spew it out your soul Love is on the dole And there she will stay All night long we were singing Northern songs All night long we were singing Northern songs And I love every inch of you Yes I do love every single Inch of you But doesn't she get That warm glow inside Shoots up your spine and blows Through your mind Oh well don't you tell me How blessed are the poor You've always wanted one slice more My darling was a preacher on The Albion stage She might have been a preacher In the good old days We're drinking whisky In a brave new afternoon Don't people realise They've rolled past my tomb Don't you tell me how blessed Are the meek You never turn the other cheek Once in your life Love is on the dole
