England is ill and it is not alone
|
I heard it through the tinny speakers on a cameraphone
|
The things you hear and the things you see
|
Are amplified into a ca-ca-cacophony
|
The lost identity in my dream before
|
I ride the local train, I'm not above the law
|
|
Serendipity puts away with me
|
Houdini couldn't escape from me
|
|
I wouldn't bet my life (He wouldn't bet his life)
|
Maybe things will change tomorrow
|
I wouldn't bet my life (You would be mad to try)
|
Maybe things will change tomorrow
|
|
The daily grind, the moral wealth
|
A portrait of the national health
|
|
England is sick and I'm a casualty
|
I'm in a constant state of flux in terms of what to be
|
We generalise and we live inside
|
I feel we're heading for a ca-ca-catastrophe
|
The lost identity in my dream before
|
I ride the local train, I'm not above the law
|
|
Serendipity took ahold of me
|
Fellini couldn't have dreamt of this
|
|
I wouldn't bet my life (He wouldn't bet his life)
|
Maybe things will change tomorrow
|
I wouldn't bet my life (You would be mad to try)
|
Maybe things will change tomorrow
|
|
The daily grind, the moral wealth
|
The family binds by means of stealth
|
A portrait of the national health
|
|
Did 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 tamed
|
|
The daily grind, the moral wealth
|
The family binds by means of stealth
|
A portrait of the national health!
