You're having tea with Graham Greene in a colored costume of your choice
And you'll be held in high esteem if you're seen in between
Stiffly holding umbrellas catching the fellows making the toast
To the civil servant Carruthers making the others worser than most
You're making small talk now with the Queen and the elegant ladies in waiting
You're very nervous they can all tell pretty well they can tell
So save yourselves for the hounds of hell they can have you all to themselves
Since the fashion now is to give away all the things you love so well
Welcome back to Chipping and Sodbury, you can have another chance
It must all seem like second nature chopping down the people where they stand
According to the latest score Mr. Enoch Powell is a falling star
So in future please bear in mind don't see clear don't see far
When the average social director mistook a passenger for the conductor
So shocking see the old Church of E looking down on you and me
Welcome Back...
