Written by Frank Turner
By the waters of the Thames I resolve to start again To wash my feet and cleanse my sins To lose my cobwebs on the wind To fix the parts of me I broke To speak out loud the things I know I haven't been myself
Wandering Rosebery Avenue I could only think of you Facing Samuel Johnson down Solved to wear down London Town A glance to take my breath away And drag me south from Holloway You and no one else
And the king of a kingdom of mistakes I've broken all the things that I could break Fuck the fishing, I will abdicate And meet you on the corner of the upper street and the city road And you, of course, the Angel Islington Ah, come on, a boy could hope
By the waters of the Thames I resolve to start again
