I wrote these lyrics for St. George's Day. |
These lyrics were written for St George's Day (The patron saint of England) Whatever is wrong in this country one thing remains the same, my love for England. England, England, England or Something Remains The Same. You know that it’s not right When you’re getting out your bike And the roads are not quite Where you would like; Things aren’t how they used to be. You know that it’s not right When you go out on a hike And the hills are not quite As low as you’d like; Thing’s aren’t how they used to be. But something remains the same, The shiver I get when I hear the name Of the little place below Scotland and to the East of Wales, England, England, oh yes my England, everywhere else pales. You know that it’s not right When you’re wearing all your Nike And your legs are not quite As fast as you’d like; Things aren’t how they used to be. You know that it’s not right If there’s a national strike And people are not quite As good as you’d like; Things aren’t how they used to be. And it’s amazing When I’m star gazing Foreign sights I’m praising Memories, in my mind, of England I keep raising And something remains the same, The pride I feel when I hear the name Of the little place below Scotland and to the East of Wales England, England, England, everywhere else pales. You know that it’s not right When governmental psych And the banks are not quite As smart as you’d like; Things aren’t how they used to be. You know that it’s not right When there’s a temperature spike ‘Coz pensions are not quite As high as we’d like; Things aren’t how they used to be And it’s amazing When I’m star gazing Foreign sights I’m praising Memories, in my mind, of England I keep raising And something remains the same, The pride I feel when I hear the name Of the little place below Scotland and to the East of Wales England, England, England, everywhere else pales. The pride I feel when I hear the name Of the little place below Scotland and to the East of Wales England, England, England, everywhere else pales. |
