Give Us Bubblewrap

Assorted nautical jigsaws
Horticultural slideshows
Another castle by Edward the First
Another manor house supposedly cursed
Don’t they realise we’re easily pleased?
Don’t they know that all they’ve really got to do is
Give us bubblewrap
Give us bubblewrap
Give us bubblewrap
And stick the Apple Mac in the car park

Take a typical warlord
Psychological nightmare
The inhumanity, oppression and greed
The stiff missionary
The poor kind Bede [?]
Megalomaniacal, loaded for bear
I think your diplomat should get over there and
Give him bubblewrap
Give him bubblewrap
Give him bubblewrap
And tell him Baccarat is illegal

Thelwall Friday afternoon
So much so for Brigadoon
Oh sing song ping pong
Fish fry whist drive
Nurse just throw another log upon the fire and
Give us bubblewrap
Give us bubblewrap
Give us bubblewrap
Double wrap, other crap, have it back, no more booze, dinner queues, avenues, inner tubes
