Born in the UK Lyrics
Then you see it happen again.
The world turned over
Wouldn’t it be something
To live your life on Mars,
Or the least demanding
Of some kind of masquerade?
I never never ever believed
In things uncertain
Hanging round the corner,
Just when d’you start doing time?
In the case of I, my, me and mine,
October 1969
Where were you in ’76,
The long hot summer?
You wanna be a rebel
Then turn your hosepipes on
With 2 years to wait
For the sound of Jilted John
Virginia Wade was winning our hearts,
She made us want to live,
Vicious and his brothers
Were trying to set us free
But much more than this to you and me,
This was the Silver Jubilee
We made something out of nothing
A sense of loathing and belonging
Some of us were gonna be rich
With the iron lady
Lennon’s gone already,
Let’s post the boys to war
Oh mother, what’re you worrying for,
It’s somewhere he’s not been before
Then you see the Union Jack
And it means nothing
But somehow you know
That you will find your own way
It’s a small reminder every day
That I was born in the UK
The world turned over
Wouldn’t it be something
To live your life on Mars,
Or the least demanding
Of some kind of masquerade?
In things uncertain
Hanging round the corner,
Just when d’you start doing time?
In the case of I, my, me and mine,
October 1969
The long hot summer?
You wanna be a rebel
Then turn your hosepipes on
With 2 years to wait
For the sound of Jilted John
She made us want to live,
Vicious and his brothers
Were trying to set us free
But much more than this to you and me,
This was the Silver Jubilee
A sense of loathing and belonging
With the iron lady
Lennon’s gone already,
Let’s post the boys to war
Oh mother, what’re you worrying for,
It’s somewhere he’s not been before
And it means nothing
But somehow you know
That you will find your own way
It’s a small reminder every day
That I was born in the UK

it's more or less the history of england through damon gough's eyes starting with his birth. and the events that still effect him today even if they happened a while ago
