lyrics

What if every London room could talk
what a choir of voices would sound
soprano sailing and jagged noises
industrial nailing and female wailing
birthing cries and dying moans
dining in and sexing out
waking up with eyes wide shut
wedding songs and funeral dirges
crimes of passion and fading kisses
lives not lead and wealth imagined
travels begun and luggage lost
tragic betrayals and dangerous males

The flood of years
the flood of tears
the flood of years
the flood of tears

The history here is the mystery
what if London rooms could talk
the history here is the mystery
what if London rooms could talk

Flowing dresses and worn out threads
homes and gardens and unmade beds
the times on Sunday the Mirror with hacks
pate de fois gras tripe and tat
Doctor Johnson and Springheel Jack
the Ripper is back
William Shakespeare Orwell's tome
Sherlock cracks the mystery's bones
