Lyrics

In westminster, the bell fell down
Took three hundred years to touch the ground
Fall leaves drifted by and turned brown
A foreign plane was downed

Dogs came running from their cold dog pound
They leapt through the fence and ran downtown
And the convicts turned their ship around
And they were homeward bound

Kiss me, miss liberty
Take me to bed
So I can be free as well
Not just in my head
Kiss me, miss liberty
Lift me alone
Unchain my heavy heart
Fill me with love
Miss liberty, kiss me

And the slave were saved from their chain-gang
Knives cut men down just about to hang
Lost love returned just like a boomerang
And it was I who sang

Kiss me, miss liberty
Take me to bed
So I can be free as well
Not just in my head
Miss liberty, kiss me

Freedom, show me to your foreign shore
Lay me in your arms at your front door
I can't face confinement anymore
I won't be ignored

Kiss me, miss liberty
Take me to bed
So I can be free as well
Not just in my head
Kiss me, miss liberty
Lift me above
Unchain my heavy heart
Fill me with love
Miss liberty, kiss me
