Lyrics

Take my hand and climb through fields
To a village on a hill
The clocktower always smiles and turns to greet you
And God bless Victorians
They came to play and stay
And built their homes and shops and schools [ah]
And never ever moved away

CH Highbury, Highbury Barn
Everybody goes there
Everybody knows you there
Highbury, Highbury Barn
It’s where I always wanted to be

The butcher wears a Jackstraw hat
Iznik wears chainmail
The fishman’s stripes and gumboots keep him tidy
And who is the resident
In the tavern on his own?
All his friends will join him
And buy drinks when they are going home
CH
Come, smell the spices
The cheeses and the flowers
The Wooodlands bulbs will shine for hours
And hours and hours and hours and hours

Time changes everything
It sweeps us all away
Though I can show you somewhere
That I know I’ll always want to stay

Highbury, Highbury Barn......
