English Blues

Lyrics

Amazing commotion Salacious devotion The next and future king Told her everything Imagine how they felt when Their conversation made The six o'clock news They got the English Blues They got nothing to lose But the kingdom Unenviable position Maintaining tradition I saw his lonely tears As the symphony was played His atavistic ears Almost drooped when he was On the six o'clock news He's got the English Blues He got nothing to lose But the kingdom Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba (Come back) There's dangerous forces Starting pistols and horses Avalanches, divorces Come back Ba-ba-ba-ba He paints the hills and dales And watched his marriage fail He almost crashed his plane And all his near relations Are on the six o'clock news They got the English Blues They got nothing to lose But the kingdom Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
