Lyrics The Ignorant Englishman - Beans On Toast

Eins, zwei, drei, vier

I'm an ignorant Englishman, travelling through Germany
And I don't speak the language "excuse me, can you help me?"
Wow that's amazing, your English is great
And makes me feel even more ignorant

I'm sorry about the stuff at home with the referendum
It wasn't my decision, just the majority of my countrymen
And the feeling back at home now is one of regret
You know they didn't even give that money to the NHS
It was a big fat lie on a big red bus
These fuckin' politicians are a right bunch of cunts
The only thing I can say about the European Union is, Entschuldigung

Entschuldigung
Entschuldigung
Friede auf Erden
Entschuldigung
Entschuldigung
Friede auf Erden

I spent two weeks in Germany travelling on the trains
Playing gigs in places with complicated names
I fell in love with the country almost overnight
In a strange hotel in Quedlinburg with the window open wide
And did you know that Germany's not actually called Germany?
It's called Deutschland, Germany's just what other countries call it
And that's a funny thing to get your head around
I mean imagine if you was called
Steve and everybody else called you John
I know there's a language barrier but really come on
We should be building bridges but instead we're building walls
And what was once the Euro tunnel will soon be border patrol
Entschuldigung
Entschuldigung
Friede auf Erden
Entschuldigung
Entschuldigung
Friede auf Erden
Entschuldigung
Entschuldigung
Friede auf Erden

Travelling is good for the mind and for the soul
You should try to visit places that you've never been before
Talk to different people, experience different culture
Find the polar opposite and look for something similar
