Back to Basics

Lower portcullis, pull up the drawbridge
That's the English way
Ignore the facts, distrust the new
It's just the English way

It's back to basics for us boys
Closing our ears to the disquieting noise

To the forecastle, sandbanks ahead
Drowning in money; cappuccino foam
Just like when roofer ruled
Drowning in money; cappuccino foam

It's back to basics for us boys
Closing our ears to the disquieting noise

Merry England's what they want
Looking on a Friday, it's what we've got
Be careful what you're wishing for
The boats won't save you from the rising tides

It's back to basics for us boys
Closing our ears to the disquieting noise
