Lyrics
Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday play
We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day
Won't you stay?
Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you're still dry
The outlook's fine though Wales might have some rain
Saved again
Let's skip the news, boy
I'll make some tea
The Arabs and the Jews, boy
Too much for me
They get me confused, boy
Puts me off to sleep
And the thing I hate, oh Lord
Is staying up late to watch some debate
On some nation's fate
Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan, still surprised
You've won the West in time to be our guest
Name your prize
Drop of wine, a glass of beer
Dear, what's the time?
The grime on the Tyne is mine
All mine, all mine
Five past nine
Blood on the rooftops
Venice in the spring
Streets of San Francisco
A word from Peking
The trouble was started by a young Errol Flynn
Better in my day, oh Lord
For when we got bored, we'd have a world war
Happy but poor
So let's skip the news, boy
I'll go make that tea
Blood on the rooftops
Too much for me
When old Mother Goose stops, they're out for twenty three
Then the rain at Lords stopped play
Seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again
