Downing Street Kindling Lyrics
Who says there has to a beach to wear a bathing suit?
Well I would lie on pebbles lavishly but London's pebbles are dirt,
And I will paint with knives and guns to ensure that my art is incorrect,
And I would sleep on sheets of satin and eat my cigarettes
Well England has nothing more to offer me,
Everything that I adore came well before 1984
We are on a single island I hope you see,
And beyond our lonely country there is only the Atlantic sea,
So I will burn a fire in Westminster using the door of Downing Street,
And When Tony rushes out complaining of a draught I'll let him warm his feet
Well England has nothing more to offer me,
And everything that I adore came well before 1984
So goodbye (goodbye),
Well I wish you all well,
Well I can no longer thrive in England for I think that it is hell,
So goodbye (goodbye),
Well I wish you all well,
Well I can no longer thrive in England for I think that it is hell
This country has nothing more to offer me,
Oh everything that I adore came well before 1984,
Yes everything that I adore came well before 1984
Well I would lie on pebbles lavishly but London's pebbles are dirt,
And I will paint with knives and guns to ensure that my art is incorrect,
And I would sleep on sheets of satin and eat my cigarettes
Everything that I adore came well before 1984
And beyond our lonely country there is only the Atlantic sea,
So I will burn a fire in Westminster using the door of Downing Street,
And When Tony rushes out complaining of a draught I'll let him warm his feet
And everything that I adore came well before 1984
Well I wish you all well,
Well I can no longer thrive in England for I think that it is hell,
So goodbye (goodbye),
Well I wish you all well,
Well I can no longer thrive in England for I think that it is hell
Oh everything that I adore came well before 1984,
Yes everything that I adore came well before 1984

Very much how I feel about our country right now. "Nothing more to offer me" The only thing that really keeps me here is my friends, family, some english food and beer.
Strong message about the displeasure Britain is in references to war, anarchy and obviously the government trying to take our freedom (1984) x
A travesty of a song. I always hope it's ironic but I know deep down it's not.
