Lyrics
[Verse 1] And the lady of the flowers In her red brick towers Exchanging yellow for power And love for a candlelit hour For no reason It's just the season In gilbert street West one [Hook] Get your ticket on the central line Get off at bond street And she'll be so kind To make a flower With just you in mind [Verse 2] And the question that is Jenny's What to wear and how to spend her pennies She seeks out friends Secretly desiring many She feels so kind As she unwinds In gilbert street West one [Hook 2] Get your ticket on the central line Get off at bond street Sharp at 9 Take her out to dinner and she say I thank you for a lovely time and goodnight [Verse 3] And my lady in blue With her childhood hero untrue Looks both ways and wonders just who Is gonna bring her something new To make her smile Just for a little while In gilbert street West one [Hook 3] Get your ticket on the central line Get off at bond street Go for a joy ride Dig some joy 'Til those midnight chimes [Verse 4] And along come a man With a big brass band And to my lady in blue He whispered, here I am Together they flew Down the avenue Called gilbert street West one [Hook 4] Get your ticket on the central line Get off at bond street And you'll be flyin' high Leave all the symbols And the tired mind behind [Verse 5] And the sun it did shine As the lovers they entwine And the big friends bide their time While they all stand in line To say you can't be Hey can't you see This is gilbert street West one [Hook] [Verse 6] And the prince of the clan With his destiny so well in hand Success and unspoken religion Between himself and his fans He's not so sure Anymore When he's in gilbert street West one [Hook 5] Get your ticket on the central line Get off at bond street And step into the limelight There's two just waiting for you, waiting for you To make it, make it soon [Verse 7] And the actor he stands With outstretched hands Knowing not but hoping That a good spirit is in command Where laughter flows And nobody knows Of gilbert street West one [Outro] If you hear tinkling of a bell Borne on a moccasin through the gates of hell Have no fear babe It's only me I wish you well I really do I wish you well Yes I do...
