Still in quiet corners the dead are sleeping sound,

Behind the broken hoardings, yours for just one pound.

They'll move the bones discreetly, and stack the gravestones well,

And once a year you'll earn the right to see your father's consecrated hell,

Consecrated Hell

Consecrated Hell

The air is getting thinner, the cars are slowing down,

The dogs are going hungry, I love my fair hometown

My heart is hanging heavy, don't leave me on my own,

'Cos when I die, I'll need a friend

To carve my name and dates in London Stone,

London Stone.
