Have You Ever Been Away Lyrics - Beautiful South

Your '"fight them on the beaches" speeches made me despair 

'Cause if there's one thing we can guarantee is you will not be 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? 

You don't know, you don't care 

You're just glad that you wasn't there 

Have you ever been away?

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

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 the 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

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 you father's breath
