lyrics

Trafalgar Square (11 October 2012)

Shut the door and hide the key
Find the northwest balcony
Fold your hands and fix your hair
You old man's a millionaire

Hang the canvas on the nail
Brush your palm along the rail
Shut the door and dye your hair
Every wire everywhere

And though I'm in your ear, I swear
No one else can hear me there

Fold your hands and fix your hair
Your old man's a millionaire

Slip outside and get some air
Meet me in Trafalgar Square...

We could have had them all on our side
We could have had them all on our side
We could have kept up with the ones we meet
And keep you up until you can't see straight
And if I could have gone back in time
You could have been gone in a day
And if we made it all out alive
I could have told you yesterday

We could have had them all on our side
We could have took them all for a ride
I'll pick you up slow, but you can't be late
And keep you up until your hair turns grey
And if you could've gone back in time
T-tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy
C-come on now what's it gonna be
Outside they're calling Olly olly oxen free O...

Step outside and seal the stair
We're not going anywhere [end]
