Breaking news
The tories lose
Britannia rules
Can I start sleeping now

A fight defused
The nightclub queues
The bleakest views
Orwell didn't let me down

Oh don't wait up for me
There's somewhere I'd rather be

Cos I'm working for the weekend
I've been thrown
Into the deep end with you
Not new york city, Neepsend
Not California, England will do

The worthless king
Won't make them sing
Not anything
Would have them kneeling down

The suits upstairs
The Tony Blairs
The empty chairs
Oh England let me down

Oh don't wait up for me
There's somewhere I'd rather be

Cos I'm working for the weekend
I've been thrown
Into the deep end with you
Not new york city, Neepsend
Not California, England will do

And sure enough her phone rings
We spoke about all kinds of things
Those late-night laps round loving you
Those drives up heartbreak avenue
Those bars we both loved going to

Cos I'm working for the weekend
I've been thrown
Into the deep end with you
Not new york city, Neepsend
Not California, England will do
