These things they frighten me I know I know my history Let me turn back the clock The country is not what it was World's oldest democracy Queen's cradle of civility Where has my country gone? Where has it all gone wrong? Why'd you come when you don't belong? Why'd you come when you don't belong? You put your tongue where it don't belong You put your tongue where it don't belong These people frighten me Twist my reality I like people just like me People from this country With good Christian names And sort of look the same I heard them on the bus They even smell like us A mindless base cacophony Some of them even look like me Little more than squalls and grunts A random mass of consonants Why'd you come when you don't belong? Why'd you come when you don't belong? You put your tongue where it don't belong You put your tongue where it don't belong Just leave and let me be - this feeling's eating me You make me scream and shout - your body turn my insides out These things they frighten me I thought I knew my history Read it in the daily mail I knew the threat but not the scale We've landed in the rough They're even down the club Whoever chose to let them in Needs their head examining At first - I could not tell Why I was not feeling well My friends they all agree Change is a grave disease I need to watch the things I say Can't even call a spade a spade Why'd you come when you don't belong? Why'd you come when you don't belong? You put your tongue where it don't belong You put your tongue where it don't belong Why'd you come when you don't belong? You put your tongue where it don't belong They'll take my things from me Annihilate my history Then I'd have nothing left Have to confront myself Shelves packed full of polish food Fancy dress costumes, fabric shoes Some don't even wear socks Let alone look like us Some of them like to spit I'm not a racist shit White, black, brown or green They're all the same to me I treat them with the same respect As long as they are somewhere else Eating their foreign muck Always makes me throw up Just give me meat and veg Then you'll get some real respect
