[[I was born under a wandering star]]\\
in the second council house of Virgo\\
Forceably removed from the belly of my ma\\
and raised on milk and Pernod\\
So just lie back and think of England\\
Because I slid down bannisters\\
for judges and barristers\\
reader's wives' husbands\\
with toothless decay\\
I've been GBH'd and ABH'd\\
for a packet of B & H\\
I've been taken\\
and I've been driven away\\
I was fornicating\\
before I could read or write\\
and now I can't stop, sir\\
I graduated from the Universty of Life\\
and the school of hard knocks, sir\\
And my telephone is always ringing\\
and my number is triple-X directory\\
call 0898 treble three\\
Talk dirty to me\\
Oh come on all ye unfaithful,\\
joyful, triumphant and pathetically weak\\
I've been Amsterdamned, Reeperbahned,\\
wham bam no thank you mammed\\
If the spirit is willing\\
then the telephone's cheap\\
And if you want to step outside love\\
you step outside love with me\\
You can step outside with me\\
And if we ever meet again\\
Don't know where\\
and I don't care when\\
I'm gonna help you with you're sickness\\
like a Jehovah's Witness\\
you'll be born again\\
and again, and again\\
Just lie back, close your eyes\\
and think of England\\
and what England's done for me\\
