Lyrics


She really turned me on
Now she?s come and gone
Another memory on my mind
I loved her on the train
But I only remain
A souvenir she?s left behind
Don?t give me that sea of plenty crap
She beached me like a whale on the shore
She really did me wrong when she turned me on
She left me stranded, empty handed, but I think I?ve been there before

Goodbye Emma Peel she made me feel
As rare as a three leaf clover
Hello London city where the girls are pretty
But only love the Casanovas
It?s a long ride from the cliffs of Dover
Will you wake me when it?s over?

Now the train rolls on still I don?t belong
To anyeone I can call my own
I can?t stand to be in such misery
But I?ve grown used to being alone
Don?t talk to me, I?d rather sleep
And dream all my cares away
She left me standing there, she really didn?t care
She left me stranded, empty handed, afraid and branded
Like an old maid.

Goodbye Emma Peel she wasn?t real
And it really bowled me over
Hello downtown London where there?s fun in
Dancing to the boss nova
I guess I?ll always be a dreaming rover
Will you wake me when it?s over?

Why didn?t she wait for me?
At the while cliffs of Dover
Will you wake me when it?s over?

Goodbye Emma Peel she made me feel
As rare as a three leaf clover
Hello London city where the girls are pretty
But only love the Casanovas
It?s a long ride from the cliffs of Dover
Will you wake me when it?s over?


Will you wake me when it?s over?

Mind the gap at Marylbone station
Watch your step or you make take a fall
Last stop is Marylbone station
Good day to one and all.
