Jona Lewie - On the Other Hand There's a Fist

Bureaucrats

If you want to get through
Simply play the bourgeois fool
Let a camera hang on your arm

Hide away your bamboo flute
Go and buy a brand new suit
Smile at the guard and stand poised with charm

Bureaucrats, visas, passport control
Frontier troubles wherever you go
Gates of Tangiers are going to close
Because your pockets are loaded with holes

There is another point I know
Comb your hair before you go
Or the guard says go back to where you're from
Pretty men in authority
Deport each gypsy
They say it's nice in the town of Tetouan

Bureaucrats, visas, passport control
Frontier troubles wherever you go
Gates of Tangiers are going to close
Because your pockets are loaded with holes

Bureaucrats, visas, passport control
Frontier troubles wherever you go
Gates of Tangiers are going to close
Because your pockets are loaded with holes

So if you want to get through
Have a bit of a bourgeois cool
Let a camera hang on your arm
