Grand Old English Oak Tree |
| My grand old English oak tree, in late last summer’s evening sun |
| A shadow of your former self when you were great and proud and strong |
| The hills, they stretch so far beyond whatever you could ever hope to see |
| Here is where your glory lies, beneath these fields of apathy and greed |
| How can I trust you when your boughs have broken beneath my feet |
| A thousand times before? |
| How can I love you when your leaves are always brown? |
| They fall around me without shame |
| My grand old English oak tree, in late last summer’s evening sun |
| You took the P out of my pride, I’ve been taken for a ride |
| Will you grow forever till your leaves can mingle with the furthest stars? |
| And millions come from miles around to shelter underneath your holy palms |
| How can I trust you when your boughs have broken beneath my feet |
| A thousand times before? |
| How can I love you when your leaves are always brown? |
| They fall around me without shame |
| Without an ounce of shame |
| No hope and glory left I said, How can we have let you down? |
| Laughing Jack and the Union Star, God hope I’ll be around |
