Lavender Lane

[英语歌词在Musixmatch基础上校对而成]
One, two, three, four
Daisy and Teddy had two Cockney boys
and two Cockney sisters and they all shared their toys
With old Rosie Rooke and Peggy O'Day
They all lived together down in Lavender Lane
Lavender Lane, oh my Lavender Lane
The people were poor, and the people were plain
They didn't have much but they shared what they gained
contented to drift along Lavender Lane
Oh Lord, such a pity that the world's gotta change
All of the houses were old and decayed
The people were proud [to have] lived in Lavender Lane
Oh Lord, Lavender Lane
Oh Lord, Lavender Lane
Sometimes I wanna get back home
and do the things we did before
And break down the old school tie
and all the la-di-do-dahs
The knobs and the toffs sent down two la-di-dahs
to mix with the people and to drink in their bars
They looked down their noses and they puffed their cigars
Instead of "off" they said "orf", instead of "yeah" they said "ya"
And oh Lord
And Ted and Daisy said "What a shame"
They'll knock all the houses down for financial gain
and send all the people to a New Town estate
Oh Lord, they gutted Lavender Lane
Whoa-oh, they gutted Lavender Lane
Sometimes I wanna get back home
and do the things we did before
And break down the old school tie
and all the la-di-do-dahs
In the Great London Council a decision was made
by the bright civil servants and the people in grey
They sent all their navvies[knaves] with their buckets and spades
to knock all the houses down in Lavender Lane
But worst of all, they've taken all the people away
Now only memories are all that remain
of all the people down in Lavender Lane
Oh Lord, they gutted Lavender Lane
Whoa-oh, they gutted Lavender Lane
Whoa-oh, they gutted Lavender Lane
Whoa-oh, Lavender Lane...
