England |
| It’s been a long time since I’ve been with you |
| You may be grey-green but matchless and wide |
| I wanted to sniff at every inch of you |
| Went to Birmingham New Street to take a ride |
| Over aqueducts on a suspiciously panting train |
| High on Diesel fumes I pondered on my way |
| I may like New York, Bavaria or Paris |
| But nothing compares to you, England |
| 'Cause England’s got Steve Harris |
| England, I know |
| I may have explained it somewhere before |
| But I swear it wasn’t my idea to contrive that silly way |
| OK, I’ve got to admit this was, uhm, an improper try of a joke |
| But it rhymed and talking humour: |
| You’ve got to know I’m just anosser German bloke |
| Who loves afternoon tea |
| And Bob Catley and Mr. Bean |
| Who loves to but miniature phone booths |
| And cute little snow globes raining snow |
| On a cute little queen |
| Mostly you’re jolly |
| At times you’re frustrated, England |
| Then rest assured: |
| I also think penalty shootouts… |
| …are highly overrated |
| Vienna has got Mozart |
| Chopin they had in Paris (kind of) |
| The Catholics got the Pope |
| England’s got The Beatles |
| And eve more so: |
| England’s got Steve Harris |
| England’s got Steve Harris |
| And as if that was not enough for you: |
| England’s got Bruce Dickinson |
| And on top of it the other ones… |
| …in Iron Maiden too, yes, it’s true |
| Vienna’s got the Mozart ball |
| The Frenchies they got Paris |
| In Rome they got the Pope |
| Who in turn they don’t have in England |
| But England’s got Steve Harris |
| I may like New York, Bavaria or Paris |
| But nothing compares to you, England |
| 'Cause you got the magic bullet |
| England’s got Steve Harris |
| England: inventors of Def Leppard… |
| Shakespeare… |
| Indian food… Gary Lineker… |
| That bloke who did away with Braveheart |
| Et cetera… and so forth… good night |
