Various - Embassy Lament lyrics

Your rating:








Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn Ulvaeus

CIVIL SERVANTS:

  Oh my dear how boring

  He's defecting

  Just like all the others

  He's expecting

  Us to be impressed with what he's

  done here

  But he

  Hasn't stopped to think about the

  paperwork

  His gesture causes

  We've an embassy to run here

  If these people can't strike

  Blows for freedom

  With a valid visa

  We don't need 'em

  If we seem offhand then please

  remember

  This is nothing very special

  He's the fourth we've had since last

  November

  Who do these foreign chappies think

  they are?

  And when he's safely in the West

  He'll be the hero to discuss

  The media will lionise him

  Fame and fortune plus

  No-one will recall it's

  Thanks to us

  Have you an appointment

  With the consul?

  If you don't we know what his

  Response'll

  Be, he will not see you, with respect it

  Buggers up his very taxing schedule

  Pushing peace and understanding

  Let us hope this won't affect it

  Far too many jokers

  Cross the border

  Not a single document

  In order

  Russia must be empty

  Though we're all for

  Basic human rights it makes you

  wonder

  What they built the Berlin wall for

  Who do these foreign chappies think

  they are?

  And when you've filled in all the forms

  And been passed clear of all disease

  Debriefed debugged dedrugged

  disarmed

  And disinfected please

  Don't forget the guys

  Who cut your keys
