| [00:13.720] |
Whenever I'm in the tightest corner |
| [00:17.494] |
Whenever I feel forlorn |
| [00:20.379] |
I think of the isle where I was born |
| [00:23.318] |
And the duty to which I've sworn |
| [00:27.013] |
But I woke up in a nightmare |
| [00:30.000] |
With a Union Jack and half a crown |
| [00:33.470] |
John Bull got caught with his pants down, again |
| [00:39.359] |
That's inviting sundown |
| [00:44.264] |
It's time to do or die |
| [00:47.543] |
It's time to say "Good-bye" |
| [00:53.944] |
Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire |
| [01:01.008] |
Yes I'm the one, I let the sun go down |
| [01:07.447] |
|
| [01:09.802] |
Don't let the shadows lengthen |
| [01:13.417] |
And cover my good intentions |
| [01:16.383] |
They say that darkness brings the right time |
| [01:22.770] |
But it's also time for tears |
| [01:25.698] |
I'm so sorry and sincere |
| [01:29.119] |
Ahead of me a brilliant career |
| [01:34.368] |
Now I'm going nowhere |
| [01:39.834] |
It's time to do or die |
| [01:43.104] |
It's time to say "Good-bye" |
| [01:49.881] |
Cos I'm the man who lost the British Empire |
| [01:56.427] |
Yes I'm the one I let the sun go down |
| [02:03.145] |
|
| [02:04.482] |
Stay awhile |
| [02:07.807] |
Delay the night |
| [02:11.181] |
I'm too young for twilight |
| [02:18.168] |
They'd tell the sun to hesitate |
| [02:24.470] |
That's when Britain was Great |
| [02:30.957] |
Now that the lights are flickering |
| [02:34.406] |
My pulse is quickening |
| [02:37.237] |
All over the world the lamps will dim |
| [02:40.654] |
And never be seen again |
| [02:43.117] |
|
| [02:44.115] |
The balloon's gone up |
| [02:45.540] |
The night descends |
| [02:47.429] |
As they lower the flag on no-man's land |
| [02:50.916] |
They'll take you down a peg or two |
| [02:53.847] |
This is the bitter end |
| [02:56.126] |
|
| [02:56.428] |
I walk into darkness |
| [03:01.483] |
It's time to do or die |
| [03:04.750] |
It's time to say "Good-bye" |
| [03:11.554] |
Cos I'm the man who lost the British Empire |
| [03:18.054] |
Yes I'm the one, I let the sun go down |
| [03:23.873] |
I let the sun go down |
| [03:31.403] |
Don't let the sun go down |
| [03:35.669] |
I let the sun go down |
| [04:04.855] |
Cos I'm the man who lost the British Empire |
| [04:11.498] |
Yes I'm the one, I let the sun go down |
