Bits of your life away
Your friends all say

Where you've gone
Because again and again you've explained that

All of my dreams away
And I still say
"Where is our boy? Ah, we've lost our boy"But I should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to theNational, ah, to the National
There's a country, you don't live there
But one day you would like to
And if you show them what you're made of
Oh, then you might doBut David, we wonder
We wonder if the thunder
Is ever really gonna begin, begin, begin

"I've lost my boy"But she should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to theNational, to the National, to the National Front Disco
Because you want the day to come sooner
