City Hobgoblins Lyrics
Talk talk
You think it's the pipes
But who turns out the lights?
Our city hobgoblins
[Aboleroy] is a home hobgoblin
And at nights all ready
Our city hobgoblins
[Here] past my home at night
They are not alright
Ten times my age
One-tenth my height
Our city hobgoblins
Goes up the old night mill
Ah but evil
[Abbey grange for old pre-glaze]
Pretentious [pretends to] say
Our city hobgoblins
They'll get yer
Said Queen Victoria
It's a large black slug in Piccadilly, Manchester
Our city hobgoblins
And they say
We cannot walk the floor at night in peace
At night in peace
you know, it's really true! we can not walk the floor at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace!
at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace!
by the way:
Spiders know these things Gremlins know these things Tap, tap, tap, tap You think it's the pipes But who turns on the lights? Our city hobgoblins Ubu le Roi is a home hobgoblin And at nights all ready Our city hobgoblins Infest my home at night They are not alright Ten times my age One-tenth my height Our city hobgoblins Buzz of the all-night mill Ah but evil Emigres from old green glades Pretentious eh? Our city hobgoblins They'll get yer So Queen Victoria Is a large black slug in Piccadilly, Manchester Our city hobgoblins And they say We cannot walk the floor at night in peace At night in peace!
at night in peace!
at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace! at night in peace!
