Lyrics

Well I just got back an' I wish I never leave now (where'd you go?)
Who dat martian arrival at the airport yeah? (where'd you go?)
How many local dollars for a local anaesthetic? (where'd you go?)
The johnny on the corner was very sympathetic (where'd you go?)

I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe european home
I don't wanna go back there again

Wasn't I lucky and wouldn't it be loverly? (where'd you go?)
Send us all cards, and have a lay in on sunday (where'd you go?)
I was there for two weeks, so how come I never tell (where'd you go?)
That natty dread drinks at the sheraton hotel yeah? (where'd you go?)

I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe european home
I don't wanna go back there again

Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah

They got the sun and they got the palm tress (where'd you go?)
They got the weed, and they got the taxies (where'd you go?)
Whoa, the harder they come, n' the home of ol' bluebeat (where'd you go?)
Yes i'd stay and be a tourist but can't take the gun play (where'd you?)

I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe european home
I don't wanna go back there again

Yeah? rudie come from jamaica rudie can't fail
Rudie come from jamaica rudie can't fail
Rudie come from jamaica cos rudie can' t fail
Rudie come from jamaica rude cant fail
Rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie can't fail
Rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie can't fail
A-rudie loot and a-rudie shoot and a-rudie come up then back down
Rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie *&^$&£"£%£*
Rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie can't fail
Rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie, rudie he can't fail
Nice guy european home
Explosive european home
Twenty four track european home
Yes he come and yes he go knows what rudie knows

* intentional gibberish, see also the right profile*
