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
