Back In Blighty Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
So we left New York and the sun shone down
When we landed here, there were clouds upon the ground
And they checked our bags, and they checked our gear
And they said, "What do you plan on doing here?"

[Chorus]
Christ almighty, we're back in Blighty
They don't even want us near
But we're bringing in more, we started a war
Now how do we look from here?

[VERSE 2]
So we left from down the smoke and we headed west
And the sheep were in the fields, and the boys were so impressed
And we had a few, and we squandered some
And we flew, yeah, through this new Jerusalem

[Chorus]
Christ almighty, we're back in Blighty
They don't even want us near
But we're bringing in more, the tea is at four
Now how do you take it, dear?

[SOLO]

[VERSE 3]
So we talk in setting suns, and we shield our eyes
While we're eating Indian and our steak-and-kidney pies
And we grab our bags, and we bugger off
And we'll fly back to the land of shopping malls

[Chorus x2]
Christ almighty, we're back in Blighty
They don't even want us near
But we're bringing in more, we started a war
Now how do we look from here?

Christ almighty, we're back in Blighty
They don't even want us near
But we're bringing in more, the tea is at four
Now how do you take it, dear?
