I Live In Trafalgar Square

Текст песни Richard Thompson - I Live In Trafalgar Square

Today I've been busy removing
And I'm all in a frigidy-fidge
My last digs were on the Embankment -
The third seat from Waterloo Bridge

But the cooking - and O! the attendants -
Didn't happen to suit me so well
So I ordered my man to pick up- And
A'look out for another hotel

He did - and the new place is extra
I vow
If they only could see me-
Where I'm staying now

I live in Trafalgar Square
With four lions to guard me
Fountains and statues all over the place
And the metropol' staring me right in the face
I'll admit it's a trifle drafty
But I look at it this way, you see:

If it's good enough for Nelson
It's quite good enough for me

The beds ain't so soft as they might be
Still, the temperature's never too high
And it's nice to see the swells who are passing
Look on you with envious eyes
And then when you wake in the morning
Just fancy how nice it must be
To have a good walk for your breakfast
And the same for your dinner and tea

There's many a swell up in Barclay tonight
Who'd be glad if he only had my appetite?

I live in Trafalgar Square
With four lions to guard me
Fountains and statues all over the place
And the metropol' staring me right in the face
I'll admit it's a trifle drafty
But I look at it this way, you see:

If it's good enough for Nelson
It's quite good enough for me
