England Is Unwell
Beyond the Queen, beyond her majesty
and the majestic lean, that her Princes seem to see
There lies at her feet, a Shakespearean tragedy
'cos in her country lies a million mimes
and a million years of time
So when Kayla comes a fleein' from the war in Israel
Becomes an immigrant in a council flat in Northern Cumberwell
and well it's overwhelming that she's on the land which also dwelled
finds a job as a waitress and is quite comfy for a spell
Then when she has more active English wishes tend to swell
And her ambitions stretch beyond the point, you defies Patel
And due to her complexion someone there decides
that she is an intruder, a blood-sucker of the soil of their country
They all go through hell so they echo doid
to make her life hell as well
She's grown to know it well
and she can tell that England is unwell
They are so frustrated because England means equality for all
But they're a walking contradiction
because you aren't so equal
when you're poor
Now Shagrinda came illegally but that's beside the point
he was sure that he'd be clean of sin
once he had been anointed by the sun and the rain
of England
And he'd be able to sustain in England
And someday maybe he would gain in England
But he was soon to see the pain in England
He saw a woman being knocked by rogue men in dark tops
and high on English chivalry he gave chase and they stopped
But when he did catch up with them they sped him and he dropped
He never rose again, but a country swelled
where a hero rose and fell
He'd grown to know it well
and he could tell, that England wasn't well
They are so frustrated 'cause England means honour and generosity
but they're a walking contradiction
'cause they're full of so much hostility
Come, come along
my niggly song, sarcasm's half the price
but give it all, 'cause naturally, how far it won't suffice
I know it well, I know it true, i've lived here all my life
Something in the air I thought just doesn't sit quite right
Should i voice my worries and my conscientious mind?
Maybe I shouldn't, hell, Craytown
Well, England is unwell
I've grown to know it well and i can tell
that England is unwell
bummmmm ba bababada
bummmmm ba bababada
bummmmm ba bababada
