Red Box - New England

In house and health
Make a little bit, break a little bit
In skint and wealth
Weep a little bit, keep a little bit
In book and pen
Up another rung, down another rung
And now and then you fall
And I break to you the news
It's as bad as it seems
And so they kick and punch and scratch
And I shrink a little bit
They spread the net to catch
But I know

But that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling
Yes that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling
Proud that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling

In North and South
Give a little bit, take a little bit
In keeping out
Change a little law, hate a little more
In sight and sound
Fight another war, close another door
In private ground you live
And I break to you the news
It's as bad as it seems

And if you raise your voice to shout
And I have a little bit
It's time that you got out
But no I have no doubt

But that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling
Yes that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling
Proud that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling

And I break the news to you
It's as bad as it seems

So they kick, punch, scratch
Shrink a little bit
They spread the net to catch
But I know

But that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling
Yes that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling
Proud that England is my home
But my heart is forever travelling
