Met a friend from years gone by
Both remarked how time does fly
Said he couldn't give a toss
About the workers now he's boss
Watched a hero of the past
Say he'd seen the light at last
Hope and prayed that all his fans
Would put their lives in Tory hands
CHORUS
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Guess it wasn't meant to be any fun
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
People ring the radio
To get their views heard on the show
Can't believe the things I hear
Makes me want to disappear
Freddie Laker he's gone broke
Some feel sorry for that bloke
Send him money such a shame
He's only got five million to his name
CHORUS
Got a visit from the Pope
Kissed the ground, Christ, what a dope
You could hear the people cheer
Was it love or was it fear?
Hear them cheer, love or fear?
If what I've said gets through to you
But don't reflect your point of view
There is only one thing I can do
You're just another join the queue
Yes I'm going off the world one by one
Yes I'm going off the world one by one…
