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
