[00:00.00]Lavender Lane - The Kinks
[00:22.09]Daisy and Teddy had two Cockney boys
[00:25.98]And two Cockney sisters and they all shared their toys
[00:29.93]With old Rosie Rooke and Peggy O'Day
[00:33.79]They all lived together down in Lavender Lane
[00:37.99]Lavender Lane oh my Lavender Lane
[00:41.89]The people were poor and the people were plain
[00:45.73]They didn't have much but they shared what they gained
[00:49.65]Contented to drift along Lavender Lane
[00:54.01]Oh Lord such a pity that the world's gotta change
[01:01.76]All of the houses were old and decayed
[01:05.73]The people were proud who lived in Lavender Lane
[01:10.30]Oh Lord Lavender Lane
[01:18.23]Oh Lord Lavender Lane
[01:25.99]Sometimes I wanna get back home and do
[01:29.38]The things we did before
[01:33.78]And break down the old school tie and all the la di do dahs
[01:41.10]The knobs and the toffs sent down two la di dahs
[01:44.96]To mix with the people and to drink in their bars
[01:48.82]They looked down their noses and they puffed their cigars
[01:52.43]Instead of 'off' they say 'orf'
[01:54.45]Instead of 'yeah' they say 'ya'
[01:56.45]And oh Lord
[02:00.26]And Ted and Daisy said 'what a shame'
[02:04.46]They'll knock all the houses down for financial gain
[02:08.10]And send all the people to a new town estate
[02:12.97]Oh Lord they gutted Lavender Lane
[02:20.52]Whoa oh they gutted Lavender Lane
[02:28.22]Sometimes I wanna get back home and do
[02:31.53]The things we did before
[02:35.98]And break down the old school tie and all the la di do dahs
[02:42.99]In the great London Council a decision was made
[02:46.61]By the bright civil servants and the people in grey
[02:50.63]They sent all their navvies with their buckets and spades
[02:54.65]To knock all the houses down in Lavender Lane
[02:58.57]But worst of all they've taken all the people away
[03:08.59]Now only memories are all that remain
[03:12.22]Of all of the people down in Lavender Lane
[03:16.97]Oh Lord they gutted Lavender Lane
[03:24.54]Whoa oh they gutted Lavender Lane
[03:32.14]Whoa oh they gutted Lavender Lane
[03:39.71]Whoa oh they gutted Lavender Lane
