Wivenhoe Bells (II)

I'm renting a room

You can see the moon

In the factory yard at night

And the bells ring Sunday

Practice on Monday

Never seem to get it right

Weekend lovers snogging in a phone box

Hear Sunday church bells

Terraced houses very near the railway

Hear Sunday church bells

Uh-uh-uh

Does an angel kiss like a cymbal splash?

Do I tear myself away?

It's a dangerous time

Near the railway line

For the boy who came to stay

Weekend lovers snogging in a phone box

Hear Sunday church bells

Terraced houses very near the railway

Hear Sunday church bells

Englishman he's walking on the high street

Hears Sunday church bell

Radical longhair going for the papers

Hears Sunday church bells

Uh-uh-uh

Here comes the candle to light to bed

I'm here, from the chapter to chapter of your head

Lorry driver going to the station

Hears Sunday church bells

Crazy children playing on a skateboard

Hear Sunday church bells

Lukie Laurence waiting for a phone call

Hears Sunday church bells

Me and Annabel lying in a big bed

Hear Sunday church bells

Uh-uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh-uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh-uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh

Uh-uh-uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
