lyrics

We’re ordinary people leading ordinary lives
Husbands, fathers, sons, daughters, mums and wives
We’re England’s green and pleasant land
Hopscotch skipping ropes and handstands
Beauty queens and knobbly knees
Fish and chips and processed peas

We’re measured in percentages of happiness and vengeances

Paper rounds and cycle paths
Comic books and bubble baths
Grazes and elastoplasts
Sleeping in the uncut grass
The same faces on commuter train
Dressed for summer feels like rain
Been working through your lunch again
Then in reverse at five PM

And when there’s nothing left to say we’ll talk about the weather
Don’t worry about the future ‘cos we’re all in this together
