[Intro]
That's it, the end
But you'll get over it, my friend
[Verse 1]
Time will pass, governments fall
Glaciers melt, hurricanes bawl
High-speed trains take us away
North or south and back the same day
[Refrain]
And you, you'll get over it
You do, you get over it
[Verse 2]
Seasons will change, more or less
Species vanish, art perplex
Resentment remain both east and west
Police expect an arrest
[Refrain]
For now, you'll get over it
Somehow, you'll get over it
[Verse 3]
You'll be there, the king over the water
In despair, recoiling from the slaughter
[Verse 4]
They're raising an army in the North
From York Minster to the Firth of Forth
A pilgrimage of grace, you won't believe it
Such a human face when you receive it
[Refrain]
And you will get over it
With time to kill, you'll get over it
[Interlude]
[Verse 5]
There's a cruiser waiting at Scapa Flow
To take you away from all you know
The old man agonised
He really has compromised
[Verse 6]
Public opinion may not be on your side
There are those who think they've been taken for a ride
[Refrain]
You'll get over it, I'm on your side because
You'll get over it, and what a ride it was!
[Bridge]
Tous les artistes dans le monde
Chantent pour toi ce soir
Tous les artistes dans le monde
Chantent pour toi c'est noir
[Refrain]
It's dark, but you'll get over it
On your mark, you'll get over it
[Verse 7]
That Carphone Warehouse boy has been on the phone
He wants to upgrade the mobile you own
Have you realised your computer's a spy?
Give him a ring, he'll explain why
[Refrain]
The bourgeoisie will get over it
Look at me, I'm so over it
And you, you'll get over it!
You do, you get over it in time
That's it, the end
But you'll get over it, my friend
[Verse 1]
Time will pass, governments fall
Glaciers melt, hurricanes bawl
High-speed trains take us away
North or south and back the same day
[Refrain]
And you, you'll get over it
You do, you get over it
[Verse 2]
Seasons will change, more or less
Species vanish, art perplex
Resentment remain both east and west
Police expect an arrest
[Refrain]
For now, you'll get over it
Somehow, you'll get over it
[Verse 3]
You'll be there, the king over the water
In despair, recoiling from the slaughter
[Verse 4]
They're raising an army in the North
From York Minster to the Firth of Forth
A pilgrimage of grace, you won't believe it
Such a human face when you receive it
[Refrain]
And you will get over it
With time to kill, you'll get over it
