|
I come from the land of the |
|
Wessex down |
|
From the Hampshire hills near |
|
Winchester town |
|
In the country where the soft |
|
South rivers flow down |
|
To English channel |
|
I roam, this is where |
|
I call home |
|
I sing for my supper and |
|
I'm pretty well fed |
|
My cross is silent and |
|
I make my bed |
|
Where I can find a crown and somewhere to lay my head |
|
And the travelling day is done, and all my songs have been sung |
|
But honey |
|
I was lonely on the road, |
|
I was all on my own |
|
Hanging outside at the back of a death metal show |
|
I saw you standing there with your hair down low |
|
A kink in your step that made me want to know |
|
If you would like to take me home |
|
Who'd of thought that a |
|
French kiss from a |
|
Parisian girl could capture an |
|
English boy |
|
She comes from the channels of a distant shore |
|
From the land of revolution and |
|
Agincourt |
|
From the Kings blood stain on a tricolour |
|
And the culture a little too high, for an |
|
English boy like me |
|
She doesn't know the |
|
Island I grew up upon |
|
The valleys and the hills that |
|
I've roamed along |
|
And she doesn't like my clothes and she doesn't like my songs |
|
But she's still my |
|
Mademoiselle and it goes to show you never can tell. |
|
Cos she was a quiet one |
|
She was a shy one |
|
She was the prettiest at the show |
|
She crept up so slowly |
|
She crept up behind me |
|
But still she pretended that she didn't know |
|
But all that she thinks of me, and she kissed me |
|
And she's yet to let me go though |
|
I'm far away |
|
Across of sea |
|
I'm singing for the hope that she would ever remember me |
|
So honey when you're lonely on the road, you're all on your own |
|
Hanging outside at the back of the country show |
|
Picture me there with hat down low |
|
A smile upon my face to let you know |
|
That I would like to take you home |
|
That I would like to take you home, to the hills that |
|
I know I would like to take you home, to the places |
|
I go I would like to take you home |
|
And that's the way that a |
|
French kiss from an |
|
English boy can capture a |
|
Parisian girl |
