(McNabb)

|
Travelling overseas I was accosted by a student
|
Who asked me where I came from, she was pretty
|
Children don't put smack in your veins
|
Lennon cut his teeth here
|
And the party-pooping left wing
|
Wouldn't play the Tories game
|
We're always in the market for an off-beat love affair
|
With a foreign delegation condescending for a share
|
Of a pressure cooker spouting steam
|
That threatens to unload
|
With a power so formidable
|
The Russian bear is in the woods somewhere
|
|
Television comedians united in approval
|
The drama that confronts you with real people in real times
|
I'm only in a band because I failed my own audition
|
You have to see somebody suffer other than yourself
|
Right now we're in a jam
|
We'll call you back when we get straight
|
'Cos Townsend's coming 'round
|
He understands, he won't be late
|
There's lots of food for thought
|
But not a great deal on our plate
|
The southerners don't like us
|
Who can blame 'em seems we're always in the spotlight
|
|
We're always in the market for an off-beat love affair
|
Heseltine came up now trees are sprouting everywhere
|
McDonalds finally found us and we're folklore in Turin
|
We used to pull the ships in
|
Now we're goin' down
|
Look at the state we're in
|
