[00:00.00] Slip on your Barbour jacket, jump in my old MG
[00:06.01] We’re off to the depths of Somerset to see what we can see see see
[00:13.23] We don’t wanna drink the cider, we don’t wanna walk for miles
[00:19.46] We just want to go to a stately home built in the Georgian style
[00:26.35] I can’t abide a horizontal life
[00:32.42] It’s time to rise, assume the perpendicular
[00:38.83] Jump up and down, make complimentary sounds
[00:45.31] And talk about nothing in particular
[00:50.04] Crunch up the gravel driveway, gasp at the grand facade
[00:56.24] Just for today we’re lords and ladies, oh what a gay charade!
[01:02.59] Lavinia loves the lintels - Anna, the architraves
[01:08.57] Ben’s impressed by the buttresses thrust up the chapel knave
[01:15.34] I can’t abide a horizontal life
[01:21.57] It’s time to rise, assume the perpendicular
[01:27.79] Jump up and down, make funny little sounds
[01:34.19] And talk about nothing in particular
[01:38.29] We’ll walk the grounds by Capability Brown
[01:44.20] Get lost for days inside the manicured maze
[01:50.93] We’ll bump our heads jumping on a four-post bed
[01:57.06] And we’ll ride for free
[02:00.17] On the ladders round the walls of the circular library
[02:18.06] I can’t abide a horizontal life
[02:24.23] It’s time to rise, assume the perpendicular
[02:30.65] Jump up and down, make wild ecstatic sounds
[02:37.07] And talk about nothing in particular
[02:41.22] Nothing in particular…
[00:00.00] Slip on your Barbour jacket, jump in my old MG
[00:06.01] We' re off to the depths of Somerset to see what we can see see see
[00:13.23] We don' t wanna drink the cider, we don' t wanna walk for miles
[00:19.46] We just want to go to a stately home built in the Georgian style
