The Beautiful South

Have You Ever Been Away?

Lyricist：Paul Heaton, Dave Rotheray

Your fight them on the beaches
Speeches make me despair
'Cause if there's one thing we can guarantee
Is you will not he there

Tidying your room
Making up your bed
And if your diary's full that week
You'll send us lot instead

Send us lot instead
Put a poppy by my lovers bed
We believe you when you say
You've hurt your back

Have you ever been away
Where were you when we took Calais?
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that I wasn't there
You don't know, you don't care
You're just glad that you wasn't there

I don't know, I don't care
(Have you ever been away?)
I'm just glad that I wasn't there

I'm afraid your Rule Britannia mania
Doesn't ring so true
If I was captain of the waves
I'd turn the gun on you

Any last requests
Before you join dead?
I'll crap into your Union Jack
And wrap it 'round your head

Wrap it 'round your head
Take a look at all the blood we've shed
We'll believe you when you say
It was worth it

Have you ever been away
Where were you when we took Calais?
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that I wasn't there
You don't know, you don't care
You're just glad that you wasn't there

I don't know, I don't care
(Have you ever been away?)
I'm just glad that I wasn't there

Liberate the streets of Europe
Give our kids a chance
Give them Beaujolais by tap
And cheap day trips to France

But you have never seen or smelt
This ungodly death
It's like the stench of roasted lamb
Upon your father's breath

I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that I wasn't there
You don't know, you don't care
You're just glad that you wasn't there

I don't know, I don't care
(Have you ever been away?)
I'm just glad that I wasn't there
I don't know, I don't care
(Have you ever been away?)
I'm just glad that I wasn't there

I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that I wasn't there
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that I wasn't there

I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that I wasn't there
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that

You don't know, you don't care
You're just glad that you wasn't there
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that I wasn't there

You don't know, you don't care
You're just glad that you wasn't there
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just glad that I wasn't there
