[00:13.58]Whenever I'm in the tightest corner
[00:17.48]Whenever I feel forlorn
[00:20.16]I think of the isle where I was born
[00:23.20]And the duty to which I've sworn
[00:26.84]But I woke up in a nightmare
[00:29.73]With a Union Jack and half a crown
[00:33.41]John Bull got caught with his pants down, again
[00:38.45]That's inviting sundown
[00:44.07]It's time to do or die
[00:47.11]It's time to say goodbye
[00:54.03]'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
[01:00.94]Yes I'm the one
[01:02.68]I let the sun go down
[01:09.50]Don't let the shadows lengthen
[01:12.69]And cover my good intentions
[01:16.09]They say that darkness brings the right time
[01:21.56]But it's also time for tears
[01:25.46]I'm so sorry and sincere
[01:28.49]Ahead of me a brilliant career
[01:33.97]Now I'm going nowhere
[01:39.43]It's time to do or die
[01:42.67]It's time to say goodbye
[01:49.29]'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
[01:55.98]Yes I'm the one
[01:57.79]I let the sun go down
[02:04.35]Stay awhile, delay the night
[02:10.93]I'm too young for twilight
[02:17.51]And tell the sun to hesitate
[02:23.94]That's when Britain was great
[02:30.17]Now that the lights are flickering
[02:34.32]My pulse is quickening
[02:37.20]All over the world the lamps will dim
[02:40.38]And never be seen again
[02:43.57]The balloon's gone up, the night descends
[02:47.07]As they lower the flag on no-man's land
[02:50.88]They'll take you down a peg or two
[02:53.81]This is the bitter end
[02:56.13]I walk into darkness
[03:00.83]It's time to do or die
[03:04.26]It's time to say goodbye
[03:11.23]'Cause I'm the man who lost the British Empire
[03:17.65]Yes I'm the one
[03:19.87]I let the sun go down
[03:24.17]I let the sun go down
[03:31.07]Don't let the sun go down
[03:35.66]I let the sun go down
[04:04.23]Yes I'm the man who lost the British Empire
[04:10.92]Yes I'm the one
[04:12.59]I let the sun go down
