Legacy

That's it, the end

But you'll get over it my friend

Time will pass, governments fall

Glaciers melt, hurricanes bawl

High-speed trains take us away

North or south and back the same day

And you, you'll get over it

You do, you get over it

Seasons will change, more or less

Species vanish, art perplex

Resentment remain both east and west

Police expect an arrest

For now, you'll get over it

Somehow, you'll get over it

You'll be there, the king of other water

In despair, recoiling from the slaughter

They're raising an army in the north

From York Minster to the Firth of Forth

A pilgrimage of grace, you won't believe it

Such a human face when you receive it

And you will get over it

With time to kill, you'll get over it

There's a cruiser waiting at Scapa Flow

To take you away from all you know

The old man agonised

He really has compromised

Public opinion may not be on your side

There are those who think they've been taken for a ride

You'll get over it, I'm on your side because

You'll get over it, and what a ride it was

Tous les artistes

dans le monde

chantent pour toi

ce soir

Tous les artistes

dans le monde

chantent pour toi

C'est noir

It's dark, but you'll get over it

On your mark, you'll get over it

That Carphone Warehouse boy has been on the phone

He wants to upgrade the mobile you own

Have you realised your computer's a spy

Give him a ring, he'll explain why

The bourgeoisie will get over it

Look at me, I'm so over it

And you, you'll get over it

You do, you get over it in time
