Oranges and Lemons Again - Jools Holland/Suggs

Oh it's the crooked leg

The crooked mile

The hotel lift and the

Menacing smile

The energy of an itinerant child

To catch a glimpse of Mr Oscar Wilde

Waterborn Southend on Sea

Twisted bend this ability

Lord Upminster Bo Diddley

And Richard the Third

With the most unroyal

Mouth you ever heard

He's never gonna do it

Oh he has an' all

They're smiling politely

But they're really appalled

And it's turned out

Oranges and lemons again

All three bells in a row

We're in and out of the Eagle

And up and down the City Road

Sweet Gene Vincent

Mean old Ronnie Kray

The low slung slouch

Of the bird of prey

Trouser pocket boys

In unromantic places

Cigarettes falling from sallow faces

He's never gonna do it

Oh he has an' all

They're smiling politely

But they're really appalled

And it's turned out

Oranges and lemons again

All three bells in a row

We're in and out of the Eagle

Up and down the City Road

Lurking in the doorways of every town

Rough kids rally

With sorrows drowned

Burnt out faces and

Their ash tray eyes

Up goes the cry through

The perforated sky

He's never gonna do it

Oh he has an' all

They're smiling politely

But they're really appalled

And it's turned out

Oranges and lemons again

All three bells in a row

We're in and out of the Eagle

Up and down the City Road

And it's turned out

Oranges and lemons again

All three bells in a row

We're in and out of the Eagle

Up and down the City Road

And it's turned out

Oranges and lemons again

All three bells in a row

We're in and out of the Eagle

Up and down the City Road

And it's turned out

Oranges and lemons again

All three bells in a row

We're in and out of the Eagle
