1
(Take me back to dear old Blighty
2
Put me on the train to London Town
3
Take me anywhere, drop me anywhere
4
Liverpool, Leeds or Birmingham,
5
But I don't care!
6
I should like to see my)
7
(By land, by sea)
8
Farewell
9
To this lands cheerless marches
10
Hemmed in like a boar between arches
11
Her very Lowness with her head in a sling
12
I'm truly sorry
13
But it sounds like a wonderful thing
14
I say Charles, don't you ever crave
15
To appear on the front of the Daily mail
16
Dressed in your Mother's bridal veil?
17
And so,
18
I checked all
19
The registered historical facts
20
And I was shocked into shame to discover
21
How I'm the 18th pale descendent
22
Of some old queen or other
23
Has the world changed, or have I changed?
24
Has the world changed, or have I changed?
25
Some 9-year old tough peddles drugs
26
(I swear to God I swear
27
I never even knew what drugs were)
28
And so, I broke into the Palace
29
With a sponge and a rusty spanner
30
She said:
31
"Eh, I know you
32
And you cannot sing"
33
I said:
34
"that's nothing
35
You should hear me play piano"
36
We can go for a walk
37
Where it's quiet and dry
38
And talk about precious things
39
But when you're tied
40
To your Mother's apron
41
No one talks about castration
42
We can go for a walk
43
Where it's quiet and dry
44
And talk about precious things
45
Like love and law and poverty
46
These are the things that kill me
47
We can go for a walk
48
Where it's quiet and dry
49
And talk about precious things
50
But the rain that flattens my hair
51
These are the things that kill me
52
(All their lies about make up
53
And long hair they're still there)
54
Passed the Pub who saps your body
55
And the church
56
Who'll snatch your money
57
The Queen is dead, boys
58
And it's so lonely on a limb
59
Pass the pub that wrecks your body
60
And the church
61
All they want is your money
62
The Queen is dead, boys
63
And it's so lonely on a limb
64
Life is very long, when you're lonely
65
Life is very long, when you're lonely
66
Life is very long, when you're lonely
67
Life is very long, when you're lonely
