Way down south in the garden of England
|
We got a song to sing and we let it fill the air
|
We got it made (yeah) in the garden of England
|
Where the sun comes up to see us everyday.
|
|
We feel like strangers but still we call it home
|
We got no reason but still we feel alone
|
But when the night comes we can roll away the stone
|
To each his own, to each his own
|
|
Yeah the simple life.
|
We live at home in the garden of England
|
They got us on the run, we can feel it in the air
|
We got it made in the garden of England
|
|
Where we celebrate the English way of life.
|
They had an empire, they give it all away
|
Their finest hour seems only yesterday
|
They still remember when Britannia ruled the waves
|
|
She ruled the waves, she ruled the waves (yeah)
|
Yeah the simple life.
|
British politician giving a speech
|
We conservatives have always maintained the need
|
|
For an experiment
|
With a tougher regime
|
For depriving young football hooligans
|
Of their leisure time
|
|
I can announce today
|
That the experiment promised in our election manifest
|
Is to begin in Surrey [applause]
|
These will be no holiday camps
|
|
We will introduce on a regular basis
|
Drill, parades, and inspections
|
From 6:45am 'til lights out at 9:30pm
|
Life will be conducted at a brisk tempo
|
