Newcastle Upon Tyne, 29 May 2010. Watching the gathered nationalists, one ponders: 'What is England?'
lyrics
“I know I am, I’m sure I am…”
“Do you know where that is?”
We’ve got non-religious reverends,
Ale and conversations,
Red pillar box rendezvous
Beachy Head sunsets
Your gaudy garden gnome
(A bulldog buffoon)
Spring bank holiday revelry
Spider Nugent and Aunty Em,
Up a tree in protest,
Non-religious remedy.
Nation of shopkeepers
Nation of complainers
Frustrated self-deprecators
Non-commital playing gamers
You wouldn’t exist without those you
Scapegoat
Without those you scapegoat
Winstanley
Wollstonecraft
Viv Stanshall
Desmond Ambrose
Dour Eeyore and a beaming Tom Baker
Kate Bush
Clifford T. Ward
My England
OUR ENGLAND
“We’re not digging for stottie cake”
