"Paddington Fair" lyrics

Crows in the branches, calling the day
There's a murmur, a whisper calling your name
As the long-reaching shadows creep through the square
We're all here to witness the Paddington Fair

Come down, come down to Paddington Fair
See the crowd swing and sway while you're treading the air
Come down, come down, it's your time to shine
For the Crown will have justice at the end of the line

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

Dressed in your finest ribbons and bows
It's just a short drop, but you give 'em a show
Stardom it beckons, so what can you do
When the gallows swing low, and they're swinging for you?

Come down, come down to Paddington Fair
See the crowd swing and sway while you're treading the air
Come down, come down, it's your time to shine
For the Crown will have justice at the end of the line

So, better think twice when courting your vice
Pay with your soul, the ultimate price
Your name will ring out, and all call you friend
The circus begins, but you won't see the end

Come down, come down to Paddington Fair
See the crowd swing and sway while you're treading the air
Come down, come down, it's your time to shine
For the Crown will have justice at the end of the line
Come down, come down to Paddington Fair
See the crowd swing and sway while you're treading the air
Come down, come down, it's your time to shine
For the Crown will have justice at the end of the line

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
