lyrics

Oh Albion, what have you done?
Bought a cheap ticket to set yourself free
Off to the seaside to relive your youth
And now you must jump in the sea

You slammed the train door on your friend's fingers
And laughed as you chugged away
A mystery tour with no direction
3 and 6 on the ghost train today

We're taking a ride on the dodgems
Then onto the merry go round
Helter skelter to a black and white future
We're leaving the colour behind

Oh the sea looks cold and the wind is up
The sky's turned from blue to grey
Your earlier notion to jump in the ocean
Seems a bit crazy today

You're old and rheumatic, your muscles are flaccid
Not sure you'll swim far today
Don't stray far from the strand, there's no help at hand
Remember you sent it away
