Yellow Flowers

Oh-oho-ho
Oh-oho-ho
Oh-oho-ho
Oh-oho-ho

The windows are all broken
The door's boarded up and barred
The old metal signwork is all rusted and all scarred
They haven't served a drink from here in a decade now or so
But from the window boxes still the yellow flowers grow

Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow

They used to make great things round here
Ship them off with pride
They were bough and used and loved in places far & wide
Now the factories crumble and we've got no work to show
From the broken bottle still the yellow flowers grow

Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow

Oh-oho-ho
Oh-oho-ho

Up behind the chimneys there's a garden neat and trim
With painted railings and herbaceous borders in
A small grey plaque that sits there with a name I used to know
And all around the memories the yellow flowers grow

Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow

Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
Yellow flowers grow
