lyrics

Windsor


Cold, gold against a blue-black sky
Windsor castle, I espy
Waving flag says the queen's at home
Left the palace, she's left the town
Fast cars, driven by stars
Dukes and Earls with their ladies in their pearls
And the curls in their hair, their clothes to match
They don't worry which train to catch
To get to Windsor

Down on the river the boats do wait
Till the lock-keeper opens up the gate
All at once they are busy buzzing past
Make the most of a fortnight, go fast
Half past ten, the band moves in
Playing a tune for soldier tin
Coats and their busbies blowing in the air
It is for the tourists they are there
They come to Windsor

Boys from Eton are intent
On being one day in the Government
Or at ease with the world in their stately homes
Saturdays they can do the town
High above, a deadening noise
Air plane up there tearing the skies
Washington to London, London and back again
They don't see much, they have to hurry up
To get to Windsor

Shops are selling souvenirs
Pubs are serving real english beer
And cafés open up their door
Tea for two at half past four
Call at the castle, see the queen
She's often in, more usually seen
Waving at the world from her royal car
The Duke at her side they make a lovely pair
In Windsor

Cold, gold against a blue-black sky
Windsor castle, I espy
Waving flag says the queen's at home
Left the palace, she's left the town
Fast cars, driven by stars
Dukes and Earls with their ladies in their pearls
And the curls in their hair, their clothes to match
They don't worry which train to catch
To get to Windsor
