Q&A
In England Lyrics
Colourful compartments
Desert island views
Elusive in England
Forget the fabrications
Give us all a clue
Have faith in horizon
Intercity interlude
Jack and Jill rub thigh's and think it's rude
Keeping close along the line
Lovers losing sense of time
In England
Ooooooo that's nice, Ooooooo paradise
Many manifestos
Nailed up on the wall
Out of the blue
Only for you
Printed regulations
Quick to disapprove
Restrictions,... restrictions
Skin and bones can't find a way
The British blues today
Underneath the surface laughter
Voices quiver in the dark
In England
Ooooooo that's nice, Ooooooo paradise
Desert island views
Elusive in England
Forget the fabrications
Give us all a clue
Have faith in horizon
Jack and Jill rub thigh's and think it's rude
Keeping close along the line
Lovers losing sense of time
Ooooooo that's nice, Ooooooo paradise
Nailed up on the wall
Out of the blue
Only for you
Printed regulations
Quick to disapprove
Restrictions,... restrictions
The British blues today
Underneath the surface laughter
Voices quiver in the dark
Ooooooo that's nice, Ooooooo paradise

I love the line about Jack and Jill.
But I dont understand, what exactly is going on in England. Something with rule and regulations, you better disapprove. On the surface everything is so nice, but dont trust this!
Written in the Thatcher aera, this song works today even better!
