about

The story of of the collapse of the British Empire - no glorious final battle, no fall of the monarchy, we just ran out of money.

lyrics

A Spot of Bother
Vs1
Once we had our own empire
Made with sails, steel & fire
It’s gone, yes it’s gone
We were a higher race
A global power in any case
But it’s gone, It’s gone
We went off to fight the hun
And once a the killing was done
It was gone, just gone

Chorus
Oh, we’re having a spot of bother
Grab your friend and run for cover
The troubles in your kit bag
Have come up now we’ve hit a snag
Yes, we’re having a spot of bother

Vs2
It all began in 1912
We promised Belgium any help
In case, just in case
The army was on high alert
Each man had brought an extra shirt
In case, just in case
Planes, boats, ready to go
Military strength on full show
In case, just in case

Chorus
Oh, we’re having a spot of bother
Grab your friend and run for cover
The troubles in your kit bag
Have come up now we’ve hit a snag
Yes, we’re having a spot of bother

(Intro – rpt )
(Guitar Solo)

Chorus
Oh, we’re having a spot of bother
Grab your friend and run for cover
The troubles in your kit bag
Have come up now we’ve hit a snag
Yes, we’re having a spot of bother

Vs4
British pride & cannon’s roar
Knocked upon Pandora’s door
And lost, we lost
Victory is finally found
But in terms on pennies & pounds
We lost, yes we lost
The course of fate has finally run
But now the fighting’s good & done
We’ve won, but at what cost?

Chorus
Oh, we’re having a spot of bother
Grab your friend and run for cover
The troubles in your kit bag
Have come up now we’ve hit a snag
Yes, we’re having a spot of bother
