Intro

Verse 1

At the first sign of morning light ol’ glory’s in the sky

Across the pond it’s afternoon and the Union Jack flies high

We're on our first cup of coffee

We're on our third cup of tea

And we can't pretend to live on different planets, you and me

Chorus 1

In this collision of worlds

Watch the new day dawn on a distant shore

In this collision of worlds

Oh you can't sit this out no more

Verse 2

Abbey Road, Route 66,

CIA to the MI-6, right lane, left lane,

Metric, imperial, pounds, dollars

Howdy, cheerio,

That V8 growl to a V12 scream

Hail to the chief, God save the queen

Cops, bobbies, Tabasco, Wasabi

Pistachio ice cream.

Chorus 2

In this collision of worlds

Well it's too late and you can't stop it now

In this collision of worlds

Yeah find you a place and just watch it now

Bridge

Yeah you're a good ole' boy

Well you're a decent bloke

I say it's irony, I say it's a joke

When I look around, now I can see

We ain't so different, you and me

Verse 3

Meat and potatoes, burgers and mash

Dollars, pounds, dosh, cash

Audubon, to the riding sun

The I10, to the M1

Congress, Parliament, President, The Queen!

Petrol, you say gasoline

Now grab your bird, and get your girl

Now it's a small world

Chorus 3

Collison of worlds

Watch the new day dawn on a distant shore

In this collision of worlds

No you can't sit this out no more

It's a collision of worlds

It's too late and you can't stop it now

Collision of worlds

Find you a place and watch it now
