In these passionate places 
There's a piece of me in every town 
And the dialect changes 
They never seem to wear me out 
Yes the war is over 
But no-one ever told my heart 
That it's all a laugh because 
I'm throwing England to the dogs 
But anyway 

To be in the right 
I'd give my life 
But you must see it through 
It's now down to you 

Although you want the boy that is 
You will never change the boy that was 
And though he lives in a hotel 
He seems to scrub up rather well 
It's just a shame you can't 
Ignore the ignorant 
Because you see them 
Every day 

To be in the right 
I'd give my life 
But you must see it through 
It's now down to you 
To be proven right 
I'd give my life 

Ignore the ignorant
