Alan Price - England My England

If the world was square he'd walk right off the edge
If the sea was beer he'd probably sign the pledge
He's an awkward lad and he won't get out of bed
Lazy Eddie, he's got a steady
And his girlfriend really can't see the wood for trees
She couldn't spell her name when she sat her G.C.E.s
And the only time she's thunk she's thunk about the birds and bees
She has a baby from the navy

chorus:
England, my England, my England, my my
We are your children, Oh England don't cry
And his Mum is a cleaner at the Co-op bakery
She saves all her wages for a Japenese TV
To please her old man who is struggling on the dole
Supports United,
the fools delighted

That on an island built on coal and with oil beneath the sea
We've struggled to get by and we've joined the E.E.C.
And if you want a steady job you can take a tip from me
Work for the union, long live confusion.
