The Day The Ravens Left The Tower Lyrics - The Alarm

I've swept the floors of all my kings 

I've opened doors and let the tourists in 

Days of wine and roses 

Prime ministers, red robes 

These days are gone 

I've stood on guard as my Queens were born 

I've cut the grass on many English lawns 

Of strawberries and ice cream 

Of cricket and cold beer 

These days 

London Tower's burning. Parliament's ablaze 

Buckingham Palace has gone 

Somewhere in the distance my darling she's 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 

I've 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 she's 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 (fly away) 

Fly away, fly away (fly away) 

Fly away, fly away 

And if I live to see the dawning of the day 

I hope I'm in your arms as we get swept away 

Oh darling I will be home soon 

Darling I will be home soon 

(Ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies 

Atishoo, Atishoo, we all fall down)
