The great British mistake was looking for a way out,
   was getting complacent, not noticing the pulse was
   racing - the mistake was fighting the change, was
   staying the same. It couldn´t adapt so it couldn´t
   survive, something had to give, the people take a
   downhill slide into the gloom, into the dark recesses
   of their minds.
  
   I swoop over your city like a bird
   I climb the high branches and observe
   Into the mouth, into the soul
   I cast a shadow that swallows you whole
   I swoop, I climb, I cling, I suck,
   I swallow you whole
  
   String out the drip-feed, they´re losing their world,
   the´re losing their hard boys and magazine girls,
   adverts illegal, TV as outlaw, motive as spell.
   They´ll see the books burn. they´ll be 451, it´s
   people against things and not against each other,
   out of the pre-pack, into the fear, into themselves.
   They´re the great British mistake - the genie´s outv of the bottle, call in the magician, they didn´t mean
   to free him, devil behind them, devil in the mirror,
   chained to their right hands. They´re the great
   British mistake - they´ll have to come to terms now,
   they´ll take it out somehow, they´ll blame it all on
   something. The British mistake - when will it be over?
   How can they avoid it?
