Asian Dub Foundation, Stewart Lee - Comin' Over Here Lyrics

If you're coming over here Anglo
Saxons learn to speak the fucking language
Now I 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 comin' over here

COMIN' OVER HERE!

We've seen it all before haven't we? Ten years ago with the Poles,
People going "oh the bloody Poles, comin' over here, the bloody Poles,
Comin' over here being all Polish and mending everything,
And 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 comin' over here"

Bloody Poles
Comin' over here
Bloody Poles
Comin' over here

When I was a kid 40, 45 years ago it was the Indians weren't it?

Bloody Indians
Comin' over here
Pakistanis and Indians
Comin' over here
Inventing us a national cuisine

And before them in the 5th century it was the Anglo-Saxons weren't it?
BLOODY ANGLO-SAXONS!
Comin' over here
From northern continental Europe, the Anglo-Saxons,
With their inlay jewellery,
And their ship burial traditions, and their miserable epic poetry

Longe sceolde
Wyrd bið ful aræd!
Swa cwæð eardstapa
Earfeþa gemyndig
Wraþra wælsleahta
Winemæga hryre

If you come over here Anglo-Saxons learn to speak the fucking language

Bloody Anglo-Saxons
Comin' over here
And laying down the basis of our entire future language and culture

COMIN' OVER HERE
COMIN' OVER HERE
COMIN' OVER HERE
COMIN' OVER HERE

Wyrd bið ful aræd!
Swa cwæð eardstapa
Earfeþa gemyndig
Wraþra wælsleahta
Winemæga hryre

If you come over here Anglo-Saxons learn to speak the fucking language
