Comin’ Over Here Songtext
von Asian Dub Foundation feat. Stewart Lee

If you come over here Anglo Saxons
Learn to speak the fucking 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? We've seen er
Ten years ago with the er, the Poles
People going ah bloody Poles, comin' over here, the bloody Poles
Coming over here being all Polish and mending everything
Coming over here fixing all the stuff we′ve broken, and
Are too illiterate to read the instructions for
Doing it better than us in a second language
Bloody Poles comin′ over here

Bloody Poles
Coming over here
Bloody Poles
Coming over here


When I was a kid 40, 45 years ago it was the Indians weren'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 weren′t it?
BLOODY ANGLO-SAXONS!
Coming over here
From Northern Continental Europe, the Anglo-Saxons
With their inlaid jewellery
And their ship burial traditions, and their miserable epic poetry

Lif is laene
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
Coming over here
And laying down the basis of our entire future language and culture


Coming over here
Coming over here
Coming over here
Coming 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
