my england
Singer:lady sovereign
it ain't about the tea and biscuits
i'm one of those english misfits
i don't drink tea i drink spirits
and i talk alot of slang in my lyrics
nah more like corpses on corners
and staffordshire bull terriers and late night crawlers
polics carry guns not truncheons
london ain't all crumpets and trumpets
it's one big slum pit. we ain't all posh like the queen
we ain't all squeaky clean
throw your hands in the air now everytwhere
we ain't all posh like the queen
we ain't all squeaky clean
throw your hands in the air now everytwhere
this is the picture i painted my low down
this my london that i call my home twon
it's where i'm living and this is my low down
this is my england i'm letting you know now
no i don't watch the antiques roadshow
i'd rather listen run the road
and smoke someone's fresh homegrown
and not get bloated on a plate of scones
in an english council apartment
we don't all wear bowler hats and hire servants
more like 24 hour surveillance and dog shit on pavements
we ain't all posh like the queen
we ain't all squeaky clean
throw your hands in the air now everytwhere
we ain't all posh like the queen
we ain't all squeaky clean
throw your hands in the air now everytwhere
this is the picture i painted my low down
this my london that i call my home town
it's where i'm living and this is my low down
this is my england i'm letting you know now
lettingus know the nitty gritty of what london really is
ohh the changing of the queen's guard
that's nothing for me to come out of the house form
i'd rather sit on my arse
and have a glass of chardonnay
we ain't all briget jones clones
you get me. now i can select a few
paper people like to reject all my views
well i'm letting you know the news and
this is the straight up truth
we ain't all posh like the queen
we ain't all squeaky clean
throw your hands in the air now everytwhere
we ain't all posh like the queen
we ain't all squeaky clean
throw your hands in the air now everytwhere
this is the picture i painted my low down
this my london that i call my home twon
it's where i'm living and this is my low down
this is my england i'm letting you know now
