"The World That Was" lyrics

The world that was has now become a cause
Inspiring simple souls all over
Who have a knack of always looking back
While drunk or even sober

No matter what you may have often heard
There's been no death of satire
There's more, not less, when "thank you NHS"
Is painted on a spitfire

The world that was has now become a cause
All over

Black and white, one truth they know
The modern world will have to go

The world that was draws memories of our past
Which seem a wee bit hazy
From what I see, the summary seems to be
More meat with extra gravy

And though I feel I'm a rational man
Sometimes I'm sorely tempted
But worship of a past that never was
Is totally demented

The world that was has now become a cause
All over
