North Kensington

North Kensington, blue skies are over you
Oh, smiling eyes how soon baptised
In perspiration like a field of dew
The sticky fence you pushed me through

North Kensington
Where we first laid
We first made love

North Kensington, where I took your hand
And fell about the life we planned
By Worcester race course and to singing sand
The blood red wine and you divine

North Kensington
Where we first laid
We first made love

Four in the morning wrapped in an awning
I came to the seaside to see why the gull cried
And, oh, why?

North Kensington
Where we first laid
We first made love
