I was born under a wandering star in the second council house of virgo Forceply removed from the belly of my ma and raised on milk and pernod So just lie back and think of England Because I've slid down banisters for judges and barristers readers' 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 university 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 all ye unfaithful joyful, triumphant and pathetically weak I've been Amsterdamned, reeperbahned wham bam no thankyou mammed If the spirit is willing then the telephone's cheap And if you want to step outside love you can 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 your sickness like a Jehova'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 .
