Information

Lyrics

David, the wind blows
The wind blows
Bits of your life away

Your friends all say:
"Where is our boy?
Ah, we've lost our boy"

But they should know
Where you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
That you're going to, going to
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
"England for the English"
"England for the English"

David, the wind's blown
The wind's blown
All of my dreams away

And I still say
"Where is our boy?
Ah, we've lost our boy"

But I should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the National, to the National
There's a country, you don't live there
But one day you would like to
And if you show them what you're made of
Ah, then you might do...

But David, we wonder
We wonder if the thunder
Is ever really gonna begin, begin, begin

Your mum says
"I've lost my boy"
But she should know
Why you've gone
Because again and again you've explained
You've gone to the National, to the National
To the National Front disco

Because you want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
You want the day to come sooner
When you've settled the score

Ah, the National
Ah, the National
Ah, the National
Ah, the National
Ah, the National
