Elisabeth Grey ©2008 Alan Bradley/Ben Pearson
V1
Elisabeth Grey takes her tea in a north room of National Library
Without permission (access denied)
V2
Four eyes on a book that no one’s ever read but the author’s mother
Down in Brighton…
CH
Elisabeth Grey, head in the clouds
Counting the stars, avoiding the crowds
I’d live content on water and bread
In a quiet corner of your head.
V3
Elisabeth Grey - no time today for Ginny Woolf or Thackeray
She hoards the hours (social heresy)
V4
To rule the world with video wars while others waste their holidays
In the floating meantime, she’s…
CH
Elisabeth Grey, head in the clouds
Counting the stars, avoiding the crowds
Oh, what I’d give, without making a peep,
To wander your dreams when you’re asleep.
BR
She plays her violin down by the sea
Flies her kite by moonlight
Only rows her boat when there’s a storm
Keeps a man at bay from Biscay
Says she’s gotta work on an essay
He just loves her long legs and ashen hair…
V5
Elisabeth Grey plays Bartok in the bath, Björk in the kitchen
At the same time (knows every line)
V6
And surfs the Net for Eddas and Transmet, cat curled at her feet
Eating leftover sushi
REPEAT CHORUS 1 & 2
OUTRO
