Jimmy Davis - This Is England Lyrics
Welcome to England, sit down have a cuppaFresh from the chippy let me grab the bread and butterSee for some its about blingin and big moneyBut for me its tea drinkin and chip buttysLookin for fit honeys, and theyre fit buddiesHit the town, clatter pints, eat mint curriesWhen necessary sit and studyAnd we graft hard mate day and night like kid cudiOur culture is ultraMany have a close relationship with scully like mulderSome are a little too friendly with CharlieRelying on his presence depending on him to partySo were bingeing while the worlds cringingAnd tabloid cameras are constantly infringingOn the privacy of what they call celebritiesTheyre courting the fame but then the media are their enemiesThis is England, home of the EnglishParty hard and we drink like big fishOut on the lash all night bingesCouncil estate dreams from rags to richesIts the UK, where the tunes playAll night til the sunrise of a new dayMany are followers do what the crew sayJimmy sees things crystal clear like blurayThe country where landing on the moon is eclipsedBy the world cup win mate in sixty sixBobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Geoff HurstCrowd are on the pitch, iconic red shirtsAnd were dead certs one day to lift it againCant believe we didnt win it with SvenBut weve got the best football on the planetRight on our doorstep bruv this is bloody magicTypified by the three lionsAnd the bulldog spirit we never give up we keep tryingHome to the Stones, Coldplay, OasisWhere the St Georges was marred by racistsWeve had punks, skinheads, mods and rockersDoc martens, parkers, denims and dockersNew romantics, rudeboys, ravers, geezasBut now everyone just wants to be famous!!!This is England, home of the EnglishParty hard and we drink like big fishOut on the lash all night bingesCouncil estate dreams from rags to richesIts the UK, where the tunes playAll night til the sunrise of a new dayMany are followers do what the crew sayJimmy sees things crystal clear like blurayThis is where were fromPeople this is EnglandThis is where were fromPeople this is EnglandVery selective of what we drinkEither its get the pints in or Ill have a mug of twiningsPG Tips, Yorkshire, TetleyIts all about the rola cola forget pepsiThe school playground, is like a fashion showBeing the poor kid hits like a hammer blowAnd if youre running your mouth you better back itCos its if you think youre hard enoughThen geeza come and have a goKids write rhymes, talk about knife crimeAnd how every minute of the day is getting high timeTeenage birds, babies their fav wordTil they gave birth, all of a sudden they aint heardFrom the father, doesnt really wanna know the infantAnother potential British delinquentGrowing up on the estate mate,So sad, no dad, candidates for nick when they go madThis is England, home of the EnglishParty hard and we drink like big fishOut on the lash all night bingesCouncil estate dreams from rags to richesIts the UK, where the tunes playAll night til the sunrise of a new dayMany are followers do what the crew sayJimmy sees things crystal clear like bluray
