Lavender Hill (lyrics mainly from Queen Liz backroom vid (see Starship post) with some variations [in brackets] from Under One Sky)
I live in a house That sits in front of a hill, And when the sun sets behind It's a picture you'd frame. If you'll[you] find it You'll[you'd] be looking until You'd rather be staring at nothing.
Each day I think about Climbing the hill. I'd let the weather decide, If it's a mountain that I couldn't climb, Though I've[I] tried, And I've[I] tried, Until, I think I'd rather be staring at nothing.
The villagers call this place Lavender Hill But they couldn't decide Why it's never been Part of their local pride. And left[leaves] them empty inside, Just like a river that carries home nothing.
(And who knows) Maybe I'll meet you up On Lavender Hill. And we'll have everything we want, We'll forget that, and soon We can stretch out our sunsets, So they never feel sad, And we'll play these chords, Sing to these chords, Laughing
