Come over here anglo saxons learn to speak the fuckin language
And I do appreciate that I will now look like the worst kind of BBC liberal apologist idiot
If you’re all sitting at home watching this dubbed into Bulgarian
Here they are coming over  here
We’ve seen it all before haven’t we
Ten years go with the Poles people going “bloody Poles”
“Bloody Poles” coming over  here being all Polish and mending everything
Coming over here  fixing all the stuff we’ve broken and too illiterate
To read the instructions for doing it better than us in a second language
“Bloody Poles” coming over  here
“Bloody Poles” coming over  here
 When I was a kid 40-45 years ago it was the  Indians wasn’t it bloody Indians
Coming over here  Pakistanis and Indians Coming over here  
Inventing us a national cuisine
And before them in the 5th century it was the Anglo Saxons
Bloody Anglo Saxons coming over here from Northern Continental Europe
With their inlaid jewellery and their shit burial traditions 
And their miserable epic poetry
You come over here Anglo Saxons learn to speak the fuckin language
Bloody Anglo Saxons and laying down the basis of  our entire language and culture
Come over here Anglo Saxons learn to speak the fuckin language

    Damn, I know the original bit near by heart. I thought it was just going to be a remix, but they actually got Stewart Lee in! Great track

      Stewart Lee’s documentary King Rocker came out the same year as this collaboration. I think he was always into the British music scene, but he has made it a bigger part of his life recently.
