Do They Mean Us? |
| Dance 'round the maypole, rappers and mummers |
| Stepping in and out of time |
| Cockneys, Brummies, Tykes and Geordies |
| Players in this pantomime |
| From Notting Hill to Tyneside Mela |
| Marching ghosts of colliery bands |
| Farmers, markets, high-tech sweatshops |
| Such a green and pleasant land |
| In an English country garden |
| «Clearing the land… ex-urban man» |
| Puddings made with bread and butter |
| The lash of the whip and rhyming slang |
| Speakers corner, Miners' Welfare |
| Images all juxtaposed |
| With this patchwork panorama |
| You have to laugh: «Do they mean us?» |
| Lager louts and laddish culture |
| St George’s cross upon your pate |
| John Bull on Beau Brummel’s waistcoat |
| Knuckles tattooed «Love and Hate» |
| Schizophrenic, new age, new man |
| Bite your lip, don’t make a fuss |
| The malaise of this English patient |
| You have to ask: «Do they mean us?» |
| «Oop north» where they bathe in gravy |
| Saris seen on cobbled streets |
| Down south it’s a top coat warmer |
| «Kiss me quick» on Margate beech |
| English blood runs mild and bitter |
| Adam’s ale or council pop |
| Refugees, asylum seekers |
| Multi-racial melting pot |
| Such inherent contradictions |
| A crisis of identity |
| Are the smiles all disingenuous? |
| Quote English eccentricity |
| From Land’s End up to Kielder Water |
| All make-believe and just-suppose |
| Given the whole «Sink and Puddle» |
| In the end: «Do they mean us?» |
