The Year She Spent In England - Weddings Parties Anything[00:00:01]
At the tender age of eighteen[00:00:15]
She saw nothing in that town to hold her[00:00:17]
Nothing in the majesty of the green New England hills[00:00:21]
She worked for one year[00:00:26]
In the office of a stock and station agent[00:00:28]
And her nights behind the bar of the Great Britain Hotel[00:00:32]
The boys concerned with football[00:00:41]
And the girls concerned with bugger all[00:00:44]
She did not spare a thought for them [00:00:47]
Bid them all adieu[00:00:50]
Said I'm shooting through[00:00:54]
Alone alone alone alone[00:00:59]
She thought it might be worth the pain[00:01:02]
Alone alone alone alone[00:01:08]
She thought it would be different[00:01:11]
But it was just the same[00:01:15]
Was it a bigger brighter world in London [00:01:29]
Well it was bigger that was certain[00:01:32]
She wasn't sure who to contact so[00:01:35]
Her friendships they were few[00:01:38]
To a few friends that she left at home[00:01:41]
Her letters spoke of certain pleasure[00:01:44]
How she'd lived up to this point [00:01:48]
My God she hardly knew[00:01:51]
And the treasures found in Camden[00:01:55]
She just stored them all away for her[00:01:58]
Return back home in twelve months' time [00:02:02]
Give or take a day[00:02:05]
Like she'd ever been away[00:02:08]
Alone alone alone alone[00:02:13]
She thought it might be worth the pain[00:02:16]
Alone alone alone alone[00:02:23]
She thought it would be different[00:02:25]
But it was just the same[00:02:30]
Now to anyone who'll listen she'll[00:02:44]
Tell of her year in England[00:02:47]
Of the people of the places of[00:02:50]
The fine times she will tell[00:02:53]
She's certainly the best dancer of a Tuesday at the disco[00:02:56]
That they built out in the car[00:03:02]
Park of the Great Britain Hotel[00:03:05]
The boys concerned with football[00:03:10]
And the girls concerned with bugger all[00:03:13]
They think she dances funny[00:03:16]
Think she dresses like a fool[00:03:19]
And her best friend knows the truth of it[00:03:22]
The year she spent in England[00:03:25]
Was like swimming underwater[00:03:28]
Across the town's Olympic pool[00:03:31]
So cruel[00:03:36]
Alone alone alone alone[00:03:40]
She thought it might be worth the pain[00:03:43]
Alone alone alone alone[00:03:50]
She thought it would be different[00:03:53]
But it was just the same[00:03:57]
Alone alone alone alone[00:03:59]
She thought it might be worth the pain[00:04:02]
But it was just the same[00:04:06]
But it was just the same[00:04:10]
It was just the same[00:04:13]
It was just the same[00:04:16]
