Ian Dury And The Blockheads: "Back To Blighty" Lyrics

when faced with a hinderance

the brave mountainier

turns and walks back into the wind

but my hesitation

in strange hemisphere

makes me quit before I begin



intrepid explorer

his reason extremes

persues the unknwo we perefect aplone

behaves like a trooper

who brags and blasphemes

tell the truth, I wanna go home



back to blighty

back to blighty

back to blighty

back to blighty



the poor navagator

the siren that calls

he’s not a warning of coming distressed

although you’re a chamer

the prospect appals

going back to my former address



back to blighty

back to blighty

back to blighty

back to blighty



there is a green hill far away....
