I wanna be as free as a Gibraltar ape Throw around bones and throats decay Admiring the views and the British landscape (Look up it's just on the tired rock face) I wanna be as free as John Hall's logbook Shrug off the traps and one in the others Backed by virtue and my brothers (?) It's quite the distance Oh, caught legend in lights(?) You think I care I'm going back to Gibraltar I wanna be free as a Gibraltar child Drunk at fourteen on pints of mild Ignoring preachers in padded tiles (Steel-toed caps that sink into the shins) Is there a pass through Huddersfield? To muster out the change and courage I can yield I'm young again, waiting out the backfield (We're not spending time any of your time) I wanna be free as a Gibraltar ape I wanna be as free as a Gibraltar ape It's quite the distance Oh, caught legend in lights (?) You think I care I'm going back to Gibraltar It's quite the distance Oh, caught legend in lights (?) You think we care We're going back to Gibraltar I wanna be as free as a Gibraltar ape I wanna be as free as a Gibraltar ape I wanna be as free as a Gibraltar ape I wanna be as free as a Gibraltar ape I wanna be as free as a Gibraltar ape
