Select language to translate this lyric
Oh say Iâm not the only one to fill with trepidation
Walking across the forecourt of the fire station
My wariness consumes me, yet still protects me from
The dimmer switch, and the membership of Britannia Music Club
I adventured for a fortnight in the valley of the Rhone
Defied capricious mistrals on which tragedies are blown
Dismounting at the roadside to lubricate my chain
I heard the hounds of retribution barking their refrain:
Letâs go the Met Bar, and cause an altercation
Letâs go the Groucho, and snap at rakish heels
For a month I went all floppy just to see where Iâd end up
The morgue was my considered guess, or maybe Martinique
The stern grind of reality however took its course
I stayed exactly where I was and suffered endless Feltz
Because you had a daughter, and chose to call her Rain
Because you didnât indicate to go down Woodchurch Lane
Your Am-Dram class has been postponed indefinitely
Because the root of Jesseâs just turned up in glorious majesty
Singing Sealed Knot Society, letâs see you try and do this one:
Luton Town â Millwall, nineteen eighty-five
Hand me down my silver trumpets
Sound the revolution bell
Thereâs a Cher impersonator
Rising up in Israel
Late Lunch audience, weâve got all your addresses!
Lazy greedy farmers, pick your own strawberries!
Is that our phone ringing, or is it on the telly?
Letâs do the bongo-laced twenty-second album
Vreni Schneider â youâre my downhill lady!
Vreni Schneider â youâre the queen of the slopes!
Vreni Schneider â youâre my downhill lady!
Vreni Schneider â youâre the queen of the slopes!
