《When Britain Really Ruled The Waves (Mountararat， Fairies， Peers)》歌词

[00:00:10] When Britain really ruled the waves

[00:00:14] In good queen Bess's time

[00:00:19] The house of peers made no pretence

[00:00:23] To intellectual to eminence

[00:00:28] Or scholarship sublime

[00:00:32] Yet Britain won her proudest bays

[00:00:37] In good queen Bess's glorious days

[00:00:42] Yet Britain won her proudest bays

[00:00:46] In good queen Bess's glorious days

[00:00:52] Yes Britain won her proudest bays

[00:00:57] In good queen Bess's glorious days

[00:01:02] When wellington thrashed Bonaparte

[00:01:07] As every child can tell

[00:01:11] The house of peers throughout the war

[00:01:16] Did nothing in particular

[00:01:20] And did it very well

[00:01:25] Yet Britain set the world ablaze

[00:01:30] In good king George's glorious days

[00:01:34] Yet Britain set the world ablaze

[00:01:39] In good king George's glorious days

[00:01:44] Yes Britain set the world ablaze

[00:01:48] In good king George's glorious days

[00:01:54] And while the house of peers withholds

[00:01:59] It's legislative hand

[00:02:04] And noble statesmen do not itch

[00:02:08] To interfere with matters which

[00:02:13] They do not understand

[00:02:18] As bright will shine great Britain's rays

[00:02:22] As in king George's glorious days

[00:02:27] As bright will shine great Britain's rays

[00:02:34] As in king George's glorious days

[00:02:40] As bright will shine great Britain's rays

[00:02:45] As in king George's glorious days
