"Wicker Arches" lyrics

He grew up on Spittle Hill, the rundown boulevard
She was just a mile away but several worlds apart
Her dad ran the Tavern Tor with no philosophy
While his read from a different book that tends to disagree

But they found each other round the broken hearted
A love story beneath the Wicker Arches
The landlord, he did not agree the principle of loyalty
Standing on the balcony alone

Where are you now?
Where are you now, my love?
Where are you now?
Where are you now, my love?

Scriptures from a postal code box, symptoms of defeat
Though roses by another name are bound to smell as sweet
Banished for the insult and defenceless in the rain
How can you upset your mother and disgrace the family name?

But they found each other round the broken hearted
A love story beneath the Wicker Arches
The landlord, he did not agree the principles of loyalty
Standing on the balcony alone

Where are you now?
Where are you now, my love?
Where are you now?
Where are you now, my love?

What's in a name when there's a love that's grown from hate?
Meet me by Sir Dakar down the end of Windrush Way
We can get to London if we follow down the Don
And take the train from Doncaster before they know we're gone

But they found each other round the broken hearted
A love story beneath the Wicker Arches
The landlord, he did not agree the principles of loyalty
Standing on the balcony alone

Two hearts perfectly entwined, but never got to last
Neither wise or so-and-so they stumble running fast
The brothers out in union all following the gang
With silver blades on Queens Road sharp and ready to attack

When they told his mother she was broken hearted
Bleeding out beneath the Wicker Arches
All because they won't agree the principle of loyalty
Falling from the balcony below

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now, my love?
