Lyrics for The Great Dominions

Suddenly I came to my senses A night on fire put out all traces of feeling I'm only concerned with looking concerned I don't want to get my laces burned We talked for hours Except for the fainting We seemed so enchanted but now my expression is changing See, see for yourself, I'm run down by a dream I stand back from a shark attack, and it's all the same Mummy, I've been fighting again Mummy, I've been fighting again Mummy, I've been fighting again Mummy, I've been fighting again I should have known You'd seek my opinion From all over the country and out to the great dominions Careful, some of the blunders of history have been made that way I'm still stuck in this pickle jar on a paper carpet Mummy, I've been fighting again Mummy, I've been fighting again Mummy, I've been fighting again Mummy, I've been fighting again
