Fenchurch Street

I have such unnatural fears
The Blackwall Tunnel
The Southend pier
I’d swap London’s tower blocks
For a night with you, at Tilbury Docks

So I met this bloke. at Fenchurch Street
I was minding my business just reading Heat
He told me he always wondered
How to kiss a girl from Chafford Hundred
I said I couldn’t help I was from Ockendon
And he ran off to his train on platform ten
After I wished I hadn’t told that lie to him
I’m from Basildon

Fell in love with an Essex Girl
Let me into your Essex World
Fell in love with an Essex Girl
Let me into your Essex World

You seem to me, out of my reach
As we stood on Shoeburyness Beach
I’d swap London’s city life
For Canvey Island as man and wife

I saw that guy again after about a week
Train late, signaling problems in Purfleet
He came out of Tie Rack and bought an umbrella
Definitely not my normal type of fella
He came up to me and said can I buy you a drink
I said mate I’m not a cheap as you think
And I told him straight out he had got me all wrong
I’m from Basildon

Fell in love with an Essex Girl
Let me into your Essex World
Fell in love with an Essex Girl
Let me into your Essex World

Fell in love with an Essex Girl
Let me into your Essex World
Fell in love with an Essex Girl
Let me into your Essex World
