Land of Hope and Glory |
| Attention! |
| Raaaahhh… |
| Bridges, |
| Sharkey, |
| Nutlee, |
| Jackson, |
| Thompson (mother!) |
| Well as you can see we’ve got a new recruit to this land of hope and glory, |
| Hands behind backs and legs apart and tell us all your unfortunate story… |
| Who me guv |
| Yes you sahhh |
| I was an innocent man 'till someone grassed me up a plan for earning a some big |
| money |
| If i hadnt mouthed it about i am sure without doubt i d have missed this land |
| of hope and glory |
| Well you poor poor sod, |
| Here you’re up at sharp at 6:30 |
| A cold shower, down to breakfast, |
| Cant have you looking dirty, |
| I suggest you eat whats given you, |
| Even if it doesnt agree with you. |
| Cos its all you’ll be getting up until 12:30 |
| In between this time you stay up in your room and you can dream about life and |
| good things |
| Two years of me teenage life |
| Given to this stand to attention life of land of hope and glory |
| I get so bored as time goes by, |
| I think ill do something dirty, |
| I pick at the floor for juicy butts |
| And i make meself a smoke, |
| A bog roll and envelope sticky |
| All this helps to pass my time |
| As the evening drags on you can watch a bit of telly |
| Or gawp at pans people with their little bit of belly |
| Wash yourself cold with the heat of yesterday |
| Dont complain, learn the game and i’ll get through another day |
| I watch the second hand on the clock at long last its 930 |
| Off to bed, straight to sleep |
| As i leave this land of hope and glory |
| But only for a few seconds am i in exctasy before the bell rings to let me know, |
| 'shop at 6:30' |
