I needed some peace, somewhere to stand still,
Through the Cotswold hills down to Portland Bill,

Where I'd be cruising through Cardiff and ending up in Southend.

All creation is here from Hythe to the Highlands.

And the road up to Hull is paved with wicked intentions.

Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots.

Circling London like dirt round a storm drain and
Somewhere near Holborn's the heart of the beast.

Don't go stopping and putting down roots

Or your shoes won't fit in your travelling boots.
