Lyrics
You come over 'ere, Anglo Saxons – learn to speak the fuckin' language!
And I do appreciate that I will now look like the worst kind of BBC liberal apologist idiot – if you're all sitting at home, watching this...
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
Dubbed into Bulgarian...
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
Here they are, comin' over 'ere...
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
(Dub, dub, dub – dub, dub, dub)
We've seen it all before – 'aven't we? Ten years ago, with the, uh, the Poles. People going: "Ah, bloody Poles. Comin' over 'ere. Bloody Poles. Comin' over 'ere, and bein' all... Polish. And mendin' everything. Comin' over 'ere... Fixin' all the stuff we've broken. And we're too illiterate to read the instructions for. Doin' it better than us – in a second language. Bloody Poles. Comin' over 'ere..."
Bloody Poles... Comin' over 'ere...
Bloody Poles... Comin' over 'ere...
When I was a kid, 40 – 45 years ago, it was the Indians, wan' it?
Bloody Indians. Comin' over 'ere, yeah, yeah...
Pakistanis and Indians, comin' over 'ere. Inventing us a national cuisine...
And before them – in the 5th century – was the Anglo Saxons, wan' it? "Bloody Anglo Saxons... Comin' over 'ere, from northern continental Europe. The Anglo Saxons – with their inlaid jewelry. And their ship burial traditions. And their miserable epic poetry..."
Lif is laene
Wyrd bið ful aræd!
Swa cwæð eardstapa
Earfeþa gemyndig
Wraþra wælsleahta
Winemæga hryre
You come over 'ere, Anglo Saxons – learn to speak the fuckin' language!
Bloody Anglo Saxons... Comin' over 'ere... And laying down the basis of our entire future language and culture...
(Culture, culture, culture)
(Culture, culture)
Comin' over 'ere
Comin' over 'ere
Comin' over 'ere
Comin' over 'ere!
You come over 'ere, Anglo Saxons – learn to speak the fuckin' language!
(Language, language, language, language, language)
