Save me from drowning in the sea

Beat me up on the beach

What a lovely holiday

There’s nothing funny left to say

This sombre song would drain the sun

But it won’t shine until it’s sung

No water running in the stream

The saddest place we’ve ever been

Everything I touched was golden

Everything I loved got broken

On the road to Mandalay

Every mistake I’ve ever made

Has been rehashed and then replayed

As I got lost along the way

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom de Dom

There’s nothing left for you to give

The truth is all that you’re left with

Twenty paces then at dawn

We will die and be reborn

I like to sleep beneath the trees

Have the universe at one with me

Look down the barrel of a gun

And feel the Moon replace the Sun

Everything we’ve ever stolen

Has been lost returned or broken

No more dragons left to slay

Every mistake I’ve ever made

Has been rehashed and then replayed

As I got lost along the way

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom de Dom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom de Dom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom Bom Bom de da da Bom Bom

Bom de Dom

Road To Mandalay

Taken From ’Sing When You’re Winning’

[r Williams and G Chambers]

Save me from drowning in the sea

Beat me up on the beach

What a lovely holiday

There’s nothing funny left to say.
