Maximo Park - The National Health Lyrics
England is ill and it is not aloneI heard it through the tinny speakers on a cameraphoneThe things you hear and the things you seeAre amplified into a ca-ca-cacophonyThe lost identity in my dream beforeI ride the local train, I'm not above the lawSerendipity puts away with meHoudini couldn't escape from meI wouldn't bet my life (He wouldn't bet his life)Maybe things will change tomorrowI wouldn't bet my life (You would be mad to try)Maybe things will change tomorrowThe daily grind, the moral wealthA potrait of the national healthEngland is sick and I'm a casualtyI'm in a constant state of flux in terms of what to beWe generalise and we live insideI feel we're heading for a ca-ca-catastropheThe lost identity in my dream beforeI ride the local train, I'm not above the lawSerendipity took ahold of meFellini couldn't have dreamt of thisI wouldn't bet my life (He wouldn't bet his life)Maybe things will change tomorrowI wouldn't bet my life (You would be mad to try)Maybe things will change tomorrowThe daily grind, the moral wealthThe family binds by means of stealthA portrait of the national healthDid you hear? (You what?)I went down to the council today (What did they say?)They sent me away (No way!)My word holds no sway (Who's to blame?)You are... (Oh yeah?)I guess I couldn't be tamedThe daily grind, the moral wealthThe family binds by means of stealthA portrait of the national health!
