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

these goes a horse

horses for courses

nah more like corpses on corners

and staffordshire bull terriers and late night crawlers

polics carry guns not truncheons

make your on assumptions

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

now do the tony blair

throw your hands in the air now everytwhere

we ain't all posh like the queen

we ain't all squeaky clean

now do the tony blair

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

cricket

bowls

croquet

nah ps2 all the way

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

now do the tony blair

throw your hands in the air now everytwhere

we ain't all posh like the queen

we ain't all squeaky clean

now do the tony blair

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

big up oliver twist

lettingus know the nitty gritty of what london really is

it ain't all pretty

deal with the realness

it's all gritty

deal with the realness

ohh the changing of the queen's guard

that's nothing for me to come out of the house form

tra la la

i'd rather sit on my arse

and have a glass of chardonnay

nah

we ain't all briget jones clones

who say pardon me

more like gwanin mate

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

well

this is the straight up truth

we ain't all posh like the queen

we ain't all squeaky clean

now do the tony blair

throw your hands in the air now everytwhere

we ain't all posh like the queen

we ain't all squeaky clean

now do the tony blair

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
