Take the National Express when your life's in a mess
It'll make you smile
All human life is here
From the feeble old dear to the screaming child
From the student who knows that to have one of those
Would be suicide
To the family man
Manhandling the pram with paternal pride
And everybody sings "ba ba ba da..."
We're going where the air is free
On the National Express there's a jolly hostess
Selling crisps and tea
She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks
For a sky-high fee
Mini-Skirts were in style when she danced down the aisle
Back in '63 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country
And everybody sings "ba ba ba da..."
We're going where the air is free
Tomorrow belongs to me
When you're sad and feeling blue
With nothing better to do
Don't just sit there feeling stressed
Take a trip on the National ExpressTHEY CAME FROM NOWHERE, WITH NOWHERE ELSE TO GO
THEY CAME WITH NOTHING BUT POCKETS FULL OF DREAMS
THEY CAME IN HOPE, LOOKING FOR THE PROMISED LAND
THEY BROUGHT THEIR FAITH, BELIEVING IN THEIR HEARTS
THEY BROUGHT THEIR CHILDREN, SEARCHING FOR A NEW START
THEY CAME LOOKING FOR THE PROMISED LAND
AND ALL THE RUMOURS SAID IT WAS HEAVEN THERE
AND ALL THE SIGNS WERE POINTING TO A NEW WORLD
SOMEWAY SOMEHOW THERE'S GOT TO BE... A PLACE FOR US,
SOMEWHERE... THERE'S GOT TO BE
A BETTER WAY, A NEW BEGINNING, A SECOND CHANCE
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
EQUALITY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
A BETTER LIFE, A BRIGHTER FUTURE, THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
FOR YOU AND ME, IT'S GOING TO BE... FREEDOM
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
THROUGH THE AGES, ALL THROUGH HISTORY
THEY BRAVED THE DESERTS, SAILED THE RAGING SEA
AND LEFT THEIR HOMES, LOOKING FOR THE PROMISED LAND
THEY BROUGHT THEIR CULTURE, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
ALL THEY WANTED WAS A REASON TO EXIST
AND STILL THEY COME, LOOKING FOR THE PROMISED LAND
AND ALL THE RUMOURS SAID IT WAS HEAVEN THERE
AND ALL THE SIGNS WERE POINTING TO A NEW WORLD
SOMEWAY SOMEHOW THERE S GOT TO BE... A PLACE FOR US
SOMEWHERE... THERE'S GOT TO BE
A BETTER WAY, A NEW BEGINNING, A SECOND CHANCE
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
EQUALITY, LIBERTY, FREEDOM
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
A BETTER LIFE, A BRIGHTER FUTURE, THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
FOR YOU AND ME, IT'S GOING TO BE... FREEDOM
...IT'S ALL IN THE NEW WORLD
