England

England

Angelic Upstarts
(album: 2,000,000 Voices)

The red in the flag
is the blood that was spilt
in the way that your forefathers tell
And never a country been so great
The stories Britannia could tell

I never want to live my life
away from the golden shores
There´s never a country in the world
with the scent of an English rose

England, oh England a country so great
the land of so fair and so true
There´ll never be any colours like
the red, the white and the blue

Whenever you go to the far-off shores
there´s something that goes with you
The pride and the joy and the love
that comes from your mother of red, white and blue

You could never be born under a flag
that´s like the one of the Union Jack
St. George´s spirit has never died
It all keeps coming back
