Madness - Land Of Hope And Glory Lyrics
UrrrrhWhat's the time?I was trying to get some sleepAttention, urrraaah, bridgesSharkey, Nutley, Jackson, Thompson,MasterWell, as you can see we've got a new recruit to this land of hope and gloryHands behind backs and legs apart and tell us all of your unfortunate story.Who me sir?Yes, you ssssir!I was an innocent man till someone grassed me of a planOf earning some big a moneyIf I hadn't mouthed it about, I am sure without doubtI'd 'ave missed this land of hope and gloryWell you poor poor sod, here you're up sharp at six thirtyCold shower down to breakfast, can't have you looking dirtyI suggest you eat what's given you even if it doesn't agree with youCos It's all you're be getting up until twelve thirtyIn between this time stay up in your room, you can dream of lifegood thingsTwo years of my teen age life given to this stand to attention lifeOf land of hope and gloryI get so bored as time goes by, I think I'll do something dirtyI pick at the floor for juicy butts and I'll make myself a smokeA bog roll and envelope stick it, all this helps to pass my timeAs the evening drags on, you can watch a little tellyHot Gossip pans people with a little bit of bellyA hot drink served cold with the heat of yesterday'sDon't complain learn the game and I'll get through another dayI watch the second hand on the clock at long last is nine thirtyOff to bed straight to sleep as I leave this land of hope and gloryBut only for a few seconds I'm in n ecstasyBefore the bell rings to let me know, sharp at six thirtyA the, a two, a six, a taQuiet, come on you lot, come on, lights out
