Intro;  G  D repeat

G                 D
From Willesden to Cricklewood
G              D
I tell you the town looked good
G               D
Walking lonely avenues
G                        D
Where rhinestone cowboys find the blues
G                  D
There's people in, doing their thing
G                    D
Getting all the mozzarella in
G                        D
And the passing time and phasing moons
G               D
Words flying in cloudy rooms
G             D
Plastic bags, milk 'n' eggs
G                        D
The poor old crone's got aching legs

G           D
How I would love to speak
G            D
To everybody on the street
G                D
Just for once to break the rules
G               D
I know it would be so cool
G                 D
From Willesden to Cricklewood,
G                 D
From Willesden to Cricklewood,

From Willesden to Cricklewood
Come with me and be no good
Be a madman on the street
Sing something out like Reet Petite
Let's hip-hop at the traffic lights
Ten thumbs up and smiling bright
Crossing all the great divides
Colour, age, and heavy vibes
From Willesden to Cricklewood
I tell you the town looked good
From Willesden to Cricklewood,
From Willesden to Cricklewood

Oh let's go down to Al Rashid's
All the Aussie lagers are on me
Now you've got the absinthe out
Your old mother - she wants a stout...

From Willesden to Cricklewood
As I went it all looked good
Thought about my babies grown
Thought about going home
Thought about what's done is done
We're alive and that's the one
From Willesden to Cricklewood,
From Willesden to Cricklewood.
