Teddy's Nook

Henry Pease, Saltburn's founder and visionary
owned a house in the town he built
owned a house in the town he built
Sandstone walls, sheepskin rugs over tiled floors
nothing out of the ordinary
nothing out of the ordinary

Flirtations with royal fame
would give it its lasting name
the scandal! the scandal!

Snaking up dirt tracks of old Saltburn town
Teddy's Nook shelters the crook and the crown
Mysteries and myths!
Mysteries and myths stalk the hallways
Prying eyes looking for stories to bleat
Peer through the letterbox, crouched on their knees
Mysteries and myths!
Mysteries and myths stalk the hallways

German spies, thieving lawyers and roaring lions
all inhabited Henry's place
all inhabited Henry's place
Future king entertained by his summer fling
taken in by those violet eyes
taken in by her violet eyes

The flashbulbs are at the door,
but Teddy ain't here no more
the romance is over

Snaking up dirt tracks of old Saltburn town
Teddy's Nook shelters the crook and the crown
Mysteries and myths!
Mysteries and myths stalk the hallways
Prying eyes looking for stories to bleat
Peer through the letterbox, crouched on their knees
Mysteries and myths!
Mysteries and myths stalk the hallways

In the walls, under floors
Wherever you look there's a sign of what's gone before
Up the stairs, in the bedrooms and halls
