Across the rolling hills, industrial waste & disused mills,
cities rising in the sky
Obscured by man-made clouds, shining sun wears a shroud
they say the pollen count is high
Shakespeare speaks to thee, Austen pleads for poverty,
Tallis, Tull & Rolling Stone, it’s only rock ‘n’roll…

This is my England yeah: Welcome to England yeah
I’ve lived here in England all my life

What is an Englishman, pipe and slippers, watering can
keeping shop and telling tales.
We criss-cross ancient lays with many numbered motorways
congested lungs to breathe the air still you’re going nowhere

This is my England yeah: Welcome to England yeah
I’m cheering for England everytime

You wake in summer sun, midday brings a hailing storm,
four seasons in one day..
They laugh at you and you’re laughing too,
like telling jokes is the only way to get along.
