England My Home Lyrics

I can't believe no-one's commented on this song yet. It may be one of their earliest tunes, but it's also one of the best. This is from back in the the Lev's ranting days, and is a nicely political piece of songwriting. It's a lament to their homeland - England - and just what has gone wrong with it. How cosying up to America has misled the people who were born here and even the politicians who run the country. And how England's importance has diminished along with the "green and pleasant land" of previous generations. Remember, this was written in 1989 and it still holds as true - if not more so - now in 2005 as it did then.
