Collision of Worlds

At the first sign of the morning light, Old Glory's in the sky
Across the pond, it's afternoon and the Union Jack flies high
We're on our first cup of coffee, we're on our third cup of tea
And we can't pretend to live on different planets, you and me

In this collision of worlds
Watch the new day dawn on a distant shore
In this collision of worlds
Oh, you can't set this out no more

Abbey Road, Route 66, CIA, to the MI6
Right lane, left lane, Metric, Imperial
Pounds, dollars, howdy, cheerio

A V8 growls, to a V12 screams
Hail to the chief, well, God save the queen
Cops, bobbies, Tabasco, Wasabi, pistachio ice cream

In this collision of worlds
Well, it's too late and you can't stop it now
In this collision of worlds
Yeah, find you a place and just watch it now, watch it now

Yeah, you're a good old boy, well, you're a decent bloke
I say it's irony, I say it's a joke
When I look around, now I can see
We ain't so different, you and meMeat and potatoes, burgers and mash
Dollars, pounds, dosh, cash
Audubon, to the rising sun
The I-10, to the M1

Congress, Parliament, President, the Queen
Petrol, you say gasoline
Now grab your bird and get your girl
Now it's a small world

Collision of worlds
Watch the new day dawn on a distant shore
In this collision of worlds
No, you can't set this out no more

It's a collision of worlds
It's too late, you can't stop it now
Collision of worlds
Find you a place and watch it now
