Sundown On The Empire

It's like when Britney left the Disney Club
Cos she a lioness and not a cub
At the end of an era
The future's no clearer, when the taxi comes to pick her up

Its like Angie leaving the Queen Vic
Trepidation feeling a bit sick
We’re at the end of an era, as Walter and Vera
Are coming up to wave her off

It's like when ginger left the other 4
Same when Brad and Jane got divorced
It won't be the same now
Theres nothing to gain now, from staying round here no more

It's like the pub around closing time
Muhammed Ali in the Berbic fight,
There ain't no pretending
She knows that its ending
She’s made her mind and booked the flight

This bird has flown
And how it seems that she’s outgrown
All she knows
It’s the sundown on the Empire

This bird has flown
And how it seems she’s outgrown
All she knows
This bird, has flown

Like co-pilots on your final flight
You were Morecambe but she was Wise
She got a ticket
She couldn’t stick it
She’ll be in Faliraki by midnight

It's like when Britney left the Disney Club
Cos she’s a lioness and not a cub
At the end of an era the future's no clearer
When the taxi comes to pick her up

This bird has flown
And how it seems that she’s outgrown
All she knows
It’s the sundown on the Empire

This bird has flown
And how it seems she’s outgrown
All she knows
This bird, has flown

I don't know who Walter and Vera are, but I'm sure the first verse is:

It's like when Britney left the Disney Club
Cos she's a lioness and not a cub
At the end of an era, her future's no clearer
When the taxi comes to pick her up
It's like Angie leaving the queen Vic
Trepidation, feeling a bit sick
At the end of an era
Is Rotherham near her?
We're coming up to wave her off

Here's what I've gathered from the forums and whatnot:

It's like when Britney left the Disney Club
But she's a lioness and not a cub
At the end of an era her future's no clearer when the taxi comes to pick her up
It's like Angie leaving the Queen Vic
Trepidation, feeling a bit sick
Well at the end of an era as Walter and Vera are coming up to wave her off

It's like when Ginger left the other four
As when Brad and Jen got divorced
It won't be the same now, there's nothing to gain now, I'm staying round here no more
It's like the pub around closing time
Mohammad Ali in the Berbick fight
There int no pretending, she knows that its ending, she's made her mind and booked the flight

This bird has flown, how it seems she's outgrown, oh she knows
It's the sundown on the empire
This bird has flown, how it seems she's outgrown, oh she knows
This bird has flown

Just like on palace on your final flight (really not sure about this line..)
As you were Morecambe but she was wise
She got a ticket, she couldn't stick it, she'll be in Faliraki by midnight
It's like when Britney left the Disney Club
But she's a lioness and not a cub
At the end of an era her future's no clearer when the taxi comes to pick her up
