Lord Salisbury - Al Stewart[00:00:00]

Lord Salisbury said to me[00:00:04]

"Though we spend our lives in isolation[00:00:11]

Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea[00:00:14]

No fear shall we know" [00:00:17]

Look away look away look away[00:00:19]

To the lamp-lit square[00:00:23]

At the ebb of May[00:00:24]

Look away look away look away[00:00:26]

For our survival[00:00:29]

Lord Salisbury takes his time[00:00:32]

The government sits in contemplation[00:00:35]

All is ordered and in its prime[00:00:38]

No fear shall we know[00:00:41]

Look away look away look away[00:00:43]

To the fog-bound ship in the icy bay[00:00:47]

Look away look away look away[00:00:50]

For our survival[00:00:53]

On th mantelpiece is a silver clock[00:00:55]

And it counts the hours and they won't turn back[00:00:59]

The evening set and the room forgets[00:01:02]

The day that went before[00:01:05]

And through my window[00:01:07]

Iron wheels on a cobbled mews[00:01:11]

You will know changes soon[00:01:15]

Lord Salisbury reads the news[00:01:20]

And puts the paper on the table[00:01:29]

Many paths will be ours to choose[00:01:33]

No fear shall we know[00:01:35]

Look away look away look away[00:01:37]

To the fleets of steel and the waves of grey[00:01:41]

Look away look away look away[00:01:44]

For our survival[00:01:47]

The Queen is old but she lingers still[00:01:50]

Like the fading ring of a distant bell[00:02:17]

And Oscar Wilde in his prison cell[00:02:19]

Laments a brighter day[00:02:23]

And in some window a red flag flies[00:02:26]

In a meeting room[00:02:32]

You will know changes soon[00:02:33]

Lord Salisbury said to me[00:02:38]

"Though we spend our lives in isolation[00:02:47]

Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea[00:02:50]

No fear shall we know" [00:02:53]

Look away look away look away[00:02:55]

To the lonesome cry of the modern day[00:02:59]

Look away look away look away[00:03:02]

For our survival[00:03:05]
