lyrics

Oh, Regina you spread your love about
To the mobile phone thieves and the ticket touts
But who needs the aggro when you’ve got the nous
No need to bother when you’re in love with yourself

Parsimonious prats abound
Telling you all that they’ve found
And they only did it for your own sake
What Noah told you not to do
With the hammer and horse glue
Is exactly what you’ve set your sights on

Municipal indifference is a target for you to see
So to the bus route that clogs our arteries
Motorway services and the piss weak cup of tea
A night of horror with the ITV

A corner shop cannot be found
That doesn’t hide the mealy-mouthed
Or a boutique that doesn’t mask our faces
A city break or the country air
Park and ride this paltry fare
Two for one on this open planned nightmare

Oh, can you see that this is not for me?
All that will be is what we’ll be

Let’s find a corner of this septic isle
That knows no Shire on which to hang itself
The barbarism of London, the ignorance of the North
Will have no purchase if we get high enough
Ah, but that is but a dream like the seaside used to be
Like the church hall and its promise of a bargain
The ring road out to the village green
The battery farms and fields of wheat
Are all burning down in our distemper.

So, now can you see how this is not for me
How dear old Blighty has really gone to seed.
