Queen Elizabeth's Keys

Lyrics

Shuffling through a High Street portico
Walking through a wide screen in Church Row
She can't take the Underground
She can walk on air
We will see her in Trafalgar Square

She can melt the colors in a kiln
Saw her in St James Street in a film
Research at the library
Mail it to the Queen
Paint the postbox red on Richmond Green

Stamps and coins, she looks quite pretty
Primrose Hill or in the City
Pretty little steeples in a row
I can hold the solar panel
She will wait in flowery castles
Drawbridge will stay open as she glows

Mason's Yard in shadows, people talk
Found her in the bathhouse in Flask Walk
Dream her in the gallery
Where we are holding hands
Let's meet in the café by the Strand

She went up to Hampstead for her health
I was going to woo her with my wealth
I snuck up to Camden Town
To watch her in the breeze
But all I got was Queen Elizabeth's Keys

Stamps and coins, she looks quite pretty
Primrose Hill or in the City
Pretty little steeples in a row
I can hold the solar panel
She will wait in flowery castles
Drawbridge will stay open as she glows

Went to Windsor Castle for some gin
Her footmen signaled me to come right in
As rain bounced off the Curfew Tower
Exchanging pleasantries
Our dreams were mixing up by small degrees
