[Verse 1]
There was a girl who flew the world
From a lonely shore
Through southern snow to Heathrow
To understand the law

I don't care who's wrong or right
And I don't care for the UK tonight
So stay

And I don't care for the UK tonight
[Chorus]
I don't care if you're black or blue
Me and the stars stay up for you
I don't care who's wrong or right
And I don't care for the UK tonight
So stay
Stay
Stay
Stay
