This England
Merry old England Sweatshop joggers On the banks of the Derwent The car park Doggers Dreaming spires With tents just below Starling murmuration Landfill gulls Grand country houses Scallys in flats A pub with a garden A bench with cans A spring Village green Your local precinct The perfume of primrose sewage leak stink Roast beef on Sundays Bovril at night Pimm’s on the lawn Angel delight Sir Kenneth Clarke Steven Mulhern Dame Judy Dench Anne Widdecombe A woodland in Norfolk A Factory terrace A Wealthy eccentric A local menace Self assured pomp You hope no one’s looking Benjamin Britton LTJ Bukem The QE2 Ship A run down harbour A Savile Row tailor A Turkish barber An office of state Sat at a till A glass of Champaign A benzo pill Newmarket horses Great Yarmouth dogs Top hats and tailcoats Raincoats and clogs A bright country garden A fly tipping lane Wimbledon sunshine League three rain A grouse in the Moreland A fox down your alley A lawyer called Clarence A client named Gary A car with a driver A bike with no lock A night at the theatre A spliff at the docks A strong sense of pride rejection of blame In Merry old England things don’t change It’s a class based game
