Lyrics Winchester - Robyn Hitchcock, The Egyptians

Winchester

One by one by one we saw the stars
One by one by one they closed the bars
And one by one we all went back to Mars
From Winchester
One by one the evening shadows fell
One by one by one we heard the bell
And I remember more than I can tell
From Winchester
Maybe there’s no one there at all
Maybe there’s no one left who cared
Maybe there’s no one there but Paul
Living in Shawford after all these years
Standing in the Talbot in my flares
Far out Phil and Pat were always there
And if you go then, baby, I don’t care
Winchester
Water meadows curling round the hill
Water meadows curling round the hill
Bodies in the stream, I see them still
Bodies in the stream, I see them still
And I don’t want to hurt you, but I will
This is Winchester
Maybe there’s no one there at all
Maybe there’s no one left who cared
Maybe there’s no one there but Paul
Living in Shawford after all these years
Walking through the dark towards your door
Walking through the dark towards your door
Listen to the groovers how they snore
Listen to the groovers how they snore
And I just didn’t know what love was for
In Winchester
In Winchester
There’s nowhere at all (Nowhere)
In Winchester
There’s nowhere at all (Nowhere)
