lyrics

II have landed with a bump, my songs all dropped out in a clump, I pick them up from off the ground, and hope that no-one sees I'm down, it was 'last in, first out', my memory board has received a clout, I'm typical English, can't speak a word, trying desperately de comprehendre que j'ai entendu. I'm back in Blighty, back in Blighty, I'm back in Blighty with a bump...
