A D
verse1
A D
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
A D
The people realise they have rolled past my tomb

Strike a light
C
Raise your glasses
D Eb
Drink a toast to the boring classes
chorus
G
On the Albion-ay

Spew it out your soul
D
Love is on the dole
G
And there she will stay
C D G
All night long we were singing Northern songs
C D G
All night long we were singing Northern songs
verse2
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
prechorus2
Strike a light
Raise your glasses
Drink a toast to the boring classes
chorus2
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

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
C C G C
You've always wanted one slice more
G
Than you and me
A
Love for today makes

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
bridge2

Oh well

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.
