Duke Special, real name Peter Wilson, is a songwriter and performer based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A piano-based songwriter with a romantic style and a warm, distinctly-accented voice, he has a distinctive look, with his long dreadlocks, eyeliner and outfits he describes as "hobo chic". His live performances have a theatrical style inspired by Vaudeville and music hall, and often incorporate 78s played on an old-fashioned gramophone, or sound effects from a transistor radio.

E7 is played just shortly at the end of each E and is also optional.
AmE Rose, she ain’t like the others AmE (E7) she spins, well, some dervish mother AmE Her bright brown hair and her acorn eyes AmE she gets me there when she hypnotises EmHAmE But Brixton leaves me alone
AmE (E7) Another drunken evening AmE (E7) Red wine, well, you’re so deceiving AmE Her photograph is my only friend AmE Well, this one wild year just won’t seem to end EmHAm And Brixton leaves me alone
GG7C The sun will rise once more A Well, it better GG7C The sun will rise once more A If we let her EmHAmEAmE But Brixton leaves me alone
AmE Just one more night in London AmE (E7) And Home, well, is a distant drumlin’ AmE With it’s ‘No retreat’ and ‘Our time has come’ AmE Well, just fuck those fifes and damn those drums EmHAm Yeah Belfast leave me alone
GG7C The sun will rise once more A7 Well, it better GG7C The sun will rise once more A If we let her GG7C The sun will rise once more A7 Well, it better GG7C The sun will rise once more A If we let her EmHAmEAmE (E7) AmEAmEAm But Brixton leaves me alone
