about

Jon: Written in 1996, This wistfully melancholic song is about Nostalgia. Which as the old joke goes - isn't what it used to be. The song deals with the inevitability of familiar places and people being replaced by the new but not always for the better. 60's/70's influenced track.

lyrics

“LONDON BRIDGE” words/music by JAG Delaney ©1996

Verse 1
Where have you been now, my pretty baby?
Where have you been now - to London Town?
To see the Queen and the Crown, Falling Down

Chorus
Like London Bridge …. Across the River
Of Tears I shed, I can’t forgive her
For all the Promises I broke
Like London Bridge …. Sold Down the River
Going for a song, replaced by something new
But never quite as precious as you

Verse 2
Where have you gone now, my fair lady?
Where have you gone now, to live in the smoke?
To see the point of all the jokes, That escape us country folk

Chorus as above

Bridge
Where have you been now, Pussycat, Pussycat?
Where have you been now to London Town?
To steal all the jewels from the crown Fallen down….

Final Chorus
Like London Bridge …. Across the River
Of Tears I shed I can’t forgive her
I can’t forgive her
Forgive her
For London Bridge
