North Kensington

(Stephen Duffy)

North Kensington blue skies are over you

Oh smiling eyes how soon baptised

In perspiration like a field of dew

The sticky fence you pushed me through

North Kensington

Where we first laid

We first made love

North Kensington where I took your hand

And fell about the love we planned

By Worcester race course and to singing sand

The blood red wine and you divine

North Kensington

Where we first laid

We first made love

Four in the morning wrapped in an awning

I came to the seaside to see why the gull cried

And oh why

North Kensington

Where we first laid

We first made love
