5 Nights in Britain

I'll be the designated driver, that bus is far too heavy to catch
In to town, it can't be that far down

We had one and went to see a hardcore band
I lost count, ended up on the floor and
The sand, it got between our teeth
The price we pay is slight

The price we pay is slight
If I knew you were on that flight
I might have tried to change your mind
(Tonight's a blinding night, the skyline.
It might just change your life)

I left my jumper on the platform
I missed the ten past 5
Nights in Britain might just change your life
(break it down)

8000 evenings of solitude and 5 nights to make a difference
I didn't mean to sound so rude, I hope the B-52's were listening

This candle can never go out
It just changes colour based on what I've been drinking
This candle can never go out
It just changes colour based on what I've been smoking

Five Nights in Britain

When you’re on the plane, don’t look down
Cause nothing looks the same in this god-damned town
Maybe five nights from now you’ll come home again
Or maybe you will die in Great Britain

So come back to me
Come back to me
Please cross the sea once more
Before you die

What you gonna do over there?
Cut a Union Jack in your hair?
Get hooked back on the junk?
Did I ever tell you this idea sucks?

5 Nights in Britain by Johnny Cashpoint

Stroll through countryside, past hedges - home to tiny mice -
Roast pub lunch on village green, a garden marquee show,
Potter round the local shop - stocks nothing that you want -
Tea-room for a hot-cross bun, and then it's time to go

Holidays in Blackpool, the lights beside the sea
See what Butler saw at music hall, let H's slip
Road show, deckchairs, knotted hankies, rolled up trouser legs
The only 'paper that we take is wrapped around our chips

Just a flying visit to a country long since dead
Alternate universe where British Empire never set
I've lived here all my life and I've not stumbled on it yet
But still you come a'looking, won't allow us to forget ...

See the jolly policeman, visit public school
Tug upon your forelock to the passing pearly queens
Businessman in bowler hat and purple pinstripe suit
Yes, you've seen The Mousetrap, now it's time to live the dream

Did you find your Avalon? Which way to Arcadia?
Five days spent in Albion looking for sham Camelot -
Rained again last night and it will rain this afternoon ...

Calendar with almost every single weekend blank
Festival of Britain it's a carnival of tat
Five nights, yes that's long enough to see it all, and do it twice -
A mainly empty diary, yes, an awful almanac ...

Five Nights in Britain by Bjam from Metal Didn't Keep Me Down

Can you imagine spending a week there?
In the country you'd go mad at the air
To get in, you'd drop your pants to declare
All the costle goods that caused the girls to stare

First be a tourist
With a cute boy smitten
Get a weak wrist
Spending five nights in Britain

Earn your money and drugs on the street
On Virgin, join the mile high club over the sea
To get into there, you'll have to pay a docking fee,
Sit in the hotel and pay 10 poubnds for the TV

Chorus

Rule Britania, you yell as you finish
Then you pack up your bag for hom
You mock and mon at your state
Go back over, you Yank, and never hear again roam[/url]
