Traveling 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 McDonald's 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
