Gerry Rafferty - Garden of England lyrics



Way down south in the garden of England

We got a song to sing and we let it fill the air

We got it made (yeah) in the garden of England

Where the sun comes up to see us everyday.

We feel like strangers but still we call it home

We got no reason but still we feel alone

But when the night comes we can roll away the stone

To each his own, to each his own

Yeah the simple life.

We live at home in the garden of England

They got us on the run, we can feel it in the air

We got it made in the garden of England

Where we celebrate the English way of life.

They had an empire, they give it all away

Their finest hour seems only yesterday

They still remember when Britannia ruled the waves

She ruled the waves, she ruled the waves (yeah)

Yeah the simple life.

British politician giving a speech

We conservatives have always maintained the need

For an experiment

With a tougher regime

For depriving young football hooligans

Of their leisure time

I can announce today

That the experiment promised in our election manifest

Is to begin in Surrey (applause)

These will be no holiday camps

We will introduce on a regular basis

Drill, parades, and inspections

From 6:45am 'til lights out at 9:30pm

Life will be conducted at a brisk tempo
