Lyrics



Rookery Rock  

Live in a place off Drury Lane  /  Wild Court’s the name
Live in a house seen better days  /   Not an inch to spare and a hell of a maze
Not far from the Rookery   /  Don’t go there at night
And don’t go in the daytime  /  You’ve only got one life
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
 
Just down the road place caught alight  /  Everyone got out alive
Ellen called “are the kids all right”  /  Someone said they might still be inside
Ellen ran to the top of the house  /  Went from floor to floor
Couldn’t find any children, they were all safe  /  But she couldn’t get back to the door
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
 
May be a place really rough  /  Some will cut your throat
But most us just get along  /   rowing the same old boat
Everybody’s Irish  /  Is there anyone left back there
They said they saw St Patrick  /  Down in Leicester Square
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
 
Live in a place off Drury Lane  /  Wild Court’s the name
Live in a house  seen better days  /   Not an inch to spare and a hell of a maze
Not far from the Rookery   /  Don’t go there at night
And don’t go in the daytime  /  [you’ve] only got one life
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock, Rookery rock
