(McNabb)      Travelling 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   McDonalds 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
