How sad are we ?
And how sad have we been ?
Well let you know
Well let you know
Oh, but only if - youre really interested
You wonder how
Weve stayed alive till now
Well - well let you know
Well let you know
Ah, but only if - youre really interested
Were all smiles
Then, honest, I swear, its the turnstiles
That make us hostile
Over there ...
Over there, over there
Over there ...
Over there ...
We will descend
On anyone unable to defend
Themselves
Over there ...
Over there, over there
Over there
Over there
And the songs we sing
Theyre not supposed to mean a thing
La, la, la, la ...
Over there
Oh ...
Youre lonely
Oh ... youre lonely
Oh ...
Your arsenal !
We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people youve ever known
At heart, whats left, of course we know
That we are the last truly british people youll ever know
We are the last truly british people that you wouldnt want to know
Oh, so ...
