Lyrics (unofficial)

I said have I met you before
He said, yeah, I met you by the thousands
Can you remember just where that was
Somewhere over the event horizon

And do you speak Inglish
And can you tell me what day it is

They say it was on a lake like this that Shelley drowned
His empty boat that ran aground
There was a time when I shouldered the oar
Just before you were born, just before the war

Mary and Byron wait on the strand
He's never coming back, why can't you understand
Can't you understand

And do you speak Inglish
And can you tell me what day it is
So damn hard to satisfy
So damn hard to satisfy

I met some people, I shook their hands
I have my share of alright plans [2:45]
I made some money but I spent a lot more
But that ain't the reason I come knocking on your door

So raise your glass to Byron and Mary
Still reigning there with their laudanum and sherry
The waves grew high like an angry sea
So salty and bitter in my memory

And do you speak Inglish
And can you tell me what day it is
You're so damn hard to satisfy
You're so damn hard to satisfy

But do you speak Inglish

Very Good
