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