Lord Salisbury

[00:07.17] Lord Salisbury said to me
[00:09.36] "Though we spend our lives in isolation
[00:12.97] Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea
[00:16.06] No fear shall we know".
[00:19.12] Look away, look away, look away
[00:21.81] To the lamp-lit square
[00:23.35] At the ebb of May
[00:25.64] Look away, look away, look away
[00:27.78] For our survival
[00:31.15] Lord Salisbury takes his time
[00:34.09] The government sits in contemplation
[00:37.32] All is ordered and in its prime
[00:40.08] No fear shall we know
[00:43.23] Look away, look away, look away
[00:45.98] To the fog-bound ship in the icy bay
[00:49.15] Look away, look away, look away
[00:51.83] For our survival
[00:54.97] On the mantelpiece is a silver clock
[00:57.57] And it counts the hours and they won't turn back
[01:00.85] The evening set and the room forgets
[01:03.96] The day that went before
[01:07.06] And through my window
[01:10.55] Iron wheels on a cobbled mews
[01:14.16] You will know changes soon
[01:25.32] Lord Salisbury reads the news
[01:28.49] And puts the paper on the table
[01:31.13] Many paths will be ours to choose
[01:33.75] No fear shall we know
[01:37.14] Look away, look away, look away
[01:39.78] To the fleets of steel and the waves of grey
[01:43.13] Look away, look away, look away
[01:45.62] For our survival
[02:12.84] The Queen is old but she lingers still
[02:15.60] Like the fading ring of a distant bell
[02:18.78] And Oscar Wilde in his prison cell
[02:21.77] Laments a brighter day
[02:24.92] And in some window a red flag flies
[02:30.03] In a meeting room
[02:32.52] You will know changes soon
[02:43.21] Lord Salisbury said to me
[02:45.49] "Though we spend our lives in isolation
[02:49.11] Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea
[02:52.83] No fear shall we know".
[02:55.87] Look away, look away, look away
[03:00.55] To the lonesome cry of the modern day
[03:02.42] Look away, look away, look away
[03:03.82] For our survival
[03:07.18]
