This Is England Lyrics


I hear a gang fire on a human factory farm
Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
A voice spoke so cold, it matched the weapon in her palmThis is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feelTime on his hands, the freezing in those clothes
He won't go for the carrot, they beat him by the pole
Some sunny day confronted by his soul
He's out at sea, too far off, he can't go homeThis is England
What we're supposed to die for
This is England
And we're never gonna cry no moreBlack shadow of the Vincent, falls on a Triumph line
I got my motorcycle jacket but I'm walking all the time
South Atlantic wind blows, ice from a dying creed
I see no glory, when will we be freeThis is England
We can chain you to the rail
This is England

We can kill you in a jailHey, British boots go kick them and got 'em in the head
Police ain't watchin' the newspapers been read
Who cares to protest here, to the eye like a flare
Out came the batons and the British warned themselvesThis is England
The land of illegal dances
This is England
Land of a thousand stancesThis is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feelThis is England
This is England

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Frank Hamilton spent the whole of 2012 writing, recording and releasing one song a week. ‘The Best of’ #OneSongaWeek’ was released on December 10th 2012 and charted at #1 in iTunes S/S charts & #21 in iTunes overall album chart. Supporters and collaborators include Ed Sheeran, Newton Faulkner, Lauren Aquilina, Ryan Keen, The Crimea, Dion Dublin, Mark Grist and many more… The project was 100% DIY, cost absolutely nothing (apart from the endless supply of tea-bags) and culminated in a sell-out live show at Camden Barfly on December 20th.
