Pour two fingers out
And then another two to wash them down
The same five songs going around
She said I'll meet you just tell me where
Lets meet on Hanover Square
Giving up so easily
It's not as easy as you'd think it would be
You've really got to nail the look
Just like the crowd around there
Hanging around Hanover Square
Where your dreams
Turn into your worst nightmares
On Hanover Square
If you're bored with what you've got
Head down to Mr. Lewis's shop
He'll sell you whatever you want
Just don't get lost in his stare
Or he'll throw you out onto Hanover Square
Hold on to that thought
In case the worst happens and we get caught
While abiding by the law
Come see for yourself if you dare
Where we made our stand on Hanover Square
Where your dreams
Turn into your worst nightmares
On Hanover Square
I'm ashamed of my electric sins
I always have to be plugged in
But as the screen grows dim
I suddenly need to share
What's happening now on Hanover Square
The volunteer policeman sway
In a perfect synchronised display
By the Queen these stones were laid
They sing as they prepare
For the matinee on Hanover Square
Where your dreams
Turn into your worst nightmares
On Hanover Square
To tell you the truth, I've been hoping that the whole thing might come crashing down all over me
It'll be over soon, then either way we'll know finally who really needs who
A slip of the thumb, a few unfortunate words and all that hard work is undone
To tell you the truth, I've been hoping that the whole thing might come crashing down all over me
