lyrics

Boudicca my darling
You’ve come back just in time to save the world
The men are old and senile
And not fit to run their fingers through your curls
If only they’d been smarter
And kept their grubby little hands
All to them selves
If only they’d been kinder
The torch you carried for them
Would have shined much brighter

But I’m happy with things now
Everything’s great again
We’re reaching for the clouds
While they’re all there just still scrabbling around
I’m happy with things now everything’s great again we’re reaching for the clouds
While they’re all there just still scrabbling around
And tossing up for crowns

Boudicca my Boudicca
I know beneath the rage your heart is true
Boudicca my Boudicca
They never should have laid their tiny hands upon you
And it’s time to pay for the crimes of yesterday and all tomorrows
Cause they’ve been making hay on the bones of your despair and all your sorrows. Oh well.

But I’m happy with things now
Oh everything’s great again
We’re reaching for the clouds
While they’re all there just still scrabbling around
And tossing up for crowns

Oh they could have been so much better than that
Just like the olden days
When they called a spade a spade
Or something so much worse
Oh and now it’s time to get them back
Oh it’s time for them to pay for the crimes that they have done.

Of if only they’d been kinder than that
Kept their hands all to themselves
And left you well alone
But they just didn’t want to give it back
They just didn’t want to share
They keep scrabbling around

But Boudicca your coming back
To take back what is yours
And we’ll be reaching for the clouds
Oh Boudicca they had it all
But pride it comes before a fall.
You’re still just tossing up for crowns
