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?» |
