England Made Me Lyrics

I trapped a spider underneath the glass
I kept it for a week to see how long he lasted
He stared right back of me
He thought that he could win
We played the waiting game
He thought that I give in

England made me
England made me

I had a dream last night, that I was drunk
I killed the stranger, and left him in a trunk
In Brighton railway station
It was an unsolved case
A famous murder mystery
People love mystery

England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me

I need my privacy, I lead a secret life
Sleep with the enemy, and betray both sides
I travelled all my life, but never got away
From the killing jar, and it got me sick

England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Corrections:

Verse 1 Line 6: 'He thought that I give in' should be 'He thought that I'd give in" Verse 2 Line 2: 'I killed the stranger' should be 'I killed a stranger' and most VITALLY: Verse 3 Line 4: 'From the killing jar, and it got me sick' is totally wrong and makes no sense. It's 'From the killing jar and the garden shed'.
