Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Give my love to London

Say I'll be there soon

Meet me in Piccadilly

And we'll dance by the light of the moon

Dance by the light of the moon, boys

Dance by the light of the moon

[Verse 2]

I'll visit all the places

I used to know so well

From Maida Vale to Chelsea

Paradise to Hell

Paradise to Hell, boys

Paradise to Hell

[Verse 3]

Skeletons are turning

Twisting in the wind

That whips the tattered flags

Along the streets of Kensington

Hell on earth is burning

In the streets of Kensington

[Verse 4]

The river's running bloody

The Tower's tumbling down

I'm singing "Pirate Jenny"

While the Black Ship's bearing down

Jenny's hating, breaking heart

Sure makes a lonesome sound

[Verse 5]

Tonight I'll watch the city

Burning fiery bright

Their kindness out of pity

Will not get them through the night

Chiswick's rather pretty

In the sacrificial light

[Verse 6]

And if I was to die then

I wouldn't really care

'Cause I'd wake up in the morning

And I wasn't really there

Yeah I'd open up my eyes and find

I really wasn't there

[Verse 7]

So give my love to London

Tell 'em I'll be there soon

Meet me in Piccadilly

And we'll dance by the light of the moon

Dance by the light of the moon, boys

Dance by the light of the moon

Dance by the light of the moon, boys

Dance by the light of the moon
