Clash - Something About England Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • They say immigrants steal the hubcaps
  • Of the respected gentlemen
  • They say it would be wine an roses
  • If england were for englishmen again
  • Well I saw a dirty overcoat
  • At the foot of the pillar of the road
  • Propped inside was an old man
  • Whom time would not erode
  • When the night was snapped by sirens
  • Those blue lights circled fast
  • The dancehall called for an ambulance
  • The bars all closed up fast
  • My silence gazing at the ceiling
  • While roaming the single room
  • I thought the old man could help me
  • If he could explain the gloom
  • You really think its all new
  • You really think about it too
  • The old man scoffed as he spoke to me
  • Ill tell you a thing or two
  • I missed the fourteen-eighteen war
  • But not the sorrow afterwards
  • With my father dead and my mother ran off
  • My brothers took the pay of hoods
  • The twenties turned the north was dead
  • The hunger strike came marching south
  • At the garden party not a word was said
  • The ladies lifted cake to their mouths
  • The next war began and my ship sailed
  • With battle orders writ in bed
  • In five long years of bullets and shells
  • We left tem million dead
  • The few returned to old piccadily
  • We limped around leicster square
  • The world was busy rebuilding itself
  • The architects could not care
  • But how could we know when I was young
  • All the canges that were to come?
  • All the photos in the wallets on the battlefield
  • And now the terror of the scientific sun
  • There was masters an servants an servants an dogs
  • They taught you how to touch your cap
  • But through strikes an famine an war an peace
  • England never closed this gap
  • So leave me now the moon is up
  • But remember all the tales I tell
  • The memories that you have dredged up
  • Are on letters forwarded from hell
  • The streets were by now deserted
  • The gangs had trudged off home
  • The lights clicked off in the bedsits
  • An old england was all alone
