The Conquering Heroes (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(albüm: Office Politics - 2019)

We are conquering heroes
We are famous explorers
We are mighty conquistadors
Lusting for gold and war
Every stream is a river
Every tree is a forest
Every rock is a mountain range
New and strange
Hereby claimed by the Swallows

When [?] Cortés was staring out
Over the Pacific
Wonder what he thought about?
He thought about without a doubt
Whether there'd be perch of trout
Cortés loved his fishing

We are conquering heroes
We are famous explorers
We are mighty conquistadors
Lusting for gold and war
Every stream is a river
Every tree is a forest
Every rock is a mountain range
New and strange
Hereby claimed by the Swallows
(Swallows, Swallows)

I am Marco Polo
Let me tell you where we are
We are on the Silk Road
From China to Milan
I'm Christopher Columbus
And I've just found America
Christopher, well done
But weren't you looking for Japan?

Doctor Livingstone, I presume?
No, no, I'm Phileas Fogg
Can you see my air balloon?
Of course I can
So who are you?
I'm Captain Scott, how do you do?
Can't you see my dog?
No...? Ah, that's 'cause I had to eat it

We are conquering heroes
We are famous explorers
We are mighty conquistadors
Lusting for gold and war
Every stream is a river
Every tree is a forest
Every rock is a mountain range
New and strange
