Lord Salisbury said to me
G5 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? A5
"Though we spend our lives in isolation
D5
Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea
G5 ? ? ? A5 ? ? ? ?D5
No fear shall we know".
G5
Look away, look away, look away
? ? ? ?D5
To the lamp-lit square
At the ebb of May
G5
Look away, look away, look away
D5 ? ? ? ?A5 ?D5
For our survival

D5
Lord Salisbury takes his time
G5 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?A5
The government sits in contemplation
D5
All is ordered and in its prime
G5 ? ? ? A5 ? ? ? ?D5
No fear shall we know
G5
Look away, look away, look away
? ? ? ?D5
To the fog-bound ship in the icy bay
G5
Look away, look away, look away
D5 ? ? ? ?A5 ?D5
For our survival

On the mantelpiece is a silver clock
B5 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?G5
And it counts the hours and they won't turn back
B5 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?F#5
The evening set and the room forgets
G5            E5 ? ? ? ? ? ? A5
The day that went before
B5 ? ? ? ? ?F#5
And through my window
G5 ? ?E5 ? ? ? ? ? A5
Iron wheels on a cobbled mews
B5 ? ? ? F#5 ? E5 ? ? ? A5
You will know changes soon

Lord Salisbury reads the news
And puts the paper on the table
Many paths will be ours to choose
No fear shall we know
Look away, look away, look away
To the fleets of steel and the waves of grey
Look away, look away, look away
For our survival

The Queen is old but she lingers still
Like the fading ring of a distant bell
And Oscar Wilde in his prison cell
Laments a brighter day
And in some window a red flag flies
In a meeting room
You will know changes soon

Lord Salisbury said to me
"Though we spend our lives in isolation
Girdled 'round by the Emerald Sea
No fear shall we know".
Look away, look away, look away
To the lonesome cry of the modern day
Look away, look away, look away
For our survival
