british invasion (lyrics)

so you see
i’m full of the country
i’m lying in ireland
and staying alive

so you see
i built them a city
i hide in the holy land
preach peace to survive

so you see
italia’s my enemy
we were long-lost friends
until she stabbed me in the back…

why don’t we try again?
and pretend we are friends…
and that this will never happen again…

so you see…
i came to unite us
my instincts will dictate a permanent course

but you see
my germany crumbled
i felt a failure
i fell off my high horse

so you see
my heart’s been recycled
i call it a night ‘fore they call it on me

i hailed from australia
i hailed a messiah
i spoke panorama
i’m still in denial

i staved off invasions
likes flames from the fire
i speak with inflection
infected an outlier

some say that alternating demons had entered his head
so we turned the other corner and left him for dead…

but i believe in miracles…

where you from?
you sexy thing…

just stick with me…
you sexy thing…

(we’ve got a smooth operator…)
