The Day The Ravens Left The Tower - 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)
