Once upon a time
Days of wine and roses
And smug suburban swine
Same old song, same old cabaret
a fairy tale in Notting Hill
Take your partners for the standing still
once upon a time
Not so happy ending
For the Mersey and the Tyne
Who said the story had to end this way?
a fairy tale in Beeston Hill
Take your partners for the standing still
Days of wine and roses
And smug suburban swine
Same old song, same old cabaret
a fairy tale in Notting Hill
Take your partners for the standing still
once upon a time
Not so happy ending
For the Mersey and the Tyne
Who said the story had to end this way?
a fairy tale in Beeston Hill
Take your partners for the standing still
