Various - Embassy Lament слова песни
Benny Andersson, Tim Rice, and Bjorn UlvaeusCIVIL 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
