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. |
|
[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] |
|
[These will be no holiday camps] |
|
[We will introduce on a regular basis] |
|
[Drill, parades and inspections] |
|
[From 6:45 am 'til lights out at 9:30 pm] |
|
[Life will be conducted at a brisk tempo] |
