How would you feel if you come from a country where the weather is always wonderful, you live in a fantastic house, there are great schools, there are always delicious things to eat and drink, and then you are told you have to go and invade a cold, grey, wet, miserable and uncivilised country more than 1,000 miles away? Ask a Roman soldier!

LYRICS
ego sum centurio
In the Roman army.
Here to conquer England
(Though I find the English barmy).
We build straight roads,
Watch blood sports to relax.
You’ll need to worship our gods now,
And pay us lots of tax.
ego sum centurio
In the Roman army.
Here to conquer England
(Though I find the English barmy).
They live in huts,
Their buildings are archaic,
We’ll knock them down and build a town
Resplendent with mosaic.
ego sum centurio
In the Roman army.
Here to conquer England
(Though I find the English barmy).
