Wrong place, right time I used to think I could do what I wanted to Right time for me alone I walk the streets of complete full homes Wrong place, but I'm bound to stick with what I intend to see through See you, in wrong place Right time but there's miles in between I keep on knocking but there's no bugger in I have to sing gothic, boo hoo See me, a new reign A new reign not to be forgotten Right place, right time Right time and Britain is mine That day, on way And all peasants will know Orange Peasants smile, big shine Very happy under rule of Orange You can whine under rule of Orange Mike Clark - sez I bastard He is deranged, I am William of Orange Go insane in Holland! I can't wait to taste anthrax turf again Big Wren, homage Orange I am Orange I have paid dues to the one who's number one in heaven As in Heaven so in Britain (By Orange, I am Orange, I am one) I can't dance, I can't sing Cursed forever is William of Orange I can't dance, can't sing Cursed forever is William of Orange I can't dance, I can't sing Cursed forever is William of Orange I can't dance, I can't sing Cursed forever is William of Orange Cursed forever is William of Orange Cursed forever is William of Orange Cursed forever is William of Orange Cursed forever is William of Orange
