If I Were Brittania I'd Waive the Rules is Budgie's sixth album, released in April 1976. The title is a pun on the concept of Britannia ruling the waves. Amusingly, the word "Britannia" is misspelled in the official title. All tracks written by Burke Shelley and Tony Bourge. Burke Shelley - vocals, bass. Tony Bourge - guitar, vocals (lead vocals on track 6). Steve Williams - drums. Additional musicians. Richard Dunn - keyboards.

I met a woman the other day She told me that it was egg on my face It was a certain disgrace, I can't take it no more I'm just insisting I do understand I'll never be a part of the band They start to teach you at school If I were Britannia, I'd waive the rules. Temptation's on your mind It's gonna make your body high Although you know it was only pride, but I paid

Recorded at Rockfield Studios (Appreciation to Cyril & Henry). Matte sleeve with 'Britannia' misspelt as 'Brittania'. Label has the correct spelling. Other: Sib Tryck Tumba.

I always liked them because their sound always had a unique vibe to me. A little metal here, a little blues rock there, a little prog-rock here, etc. I always loved bands that you just can not pigeon hole. They had about six definitive albums. The main reason was one song, one that I always loved

If I Were Budgie, I'd Simply Rule - 63%. DawnoftheShred, July 10th, 2014. Where every other Budgie album can be considered as a progression, a genuine forward step (even their botched 80’s records apply, these merely being steps in the wrong direction), Budgie’s sixth effort is a direct retread of their fifth with ideas that don’t congeal quite as well.
