England is ill and it is not alone
I heard it through the tinny speakers on a cameraphone
The things you hear and the things you see
Are amplified into a ca ca cacophony
The lost identity in my dream before
I ride the local train I'm not above the law
Serendipity puts away with me
Houdini couldn't escape from me
I wouldn't bet my life He wouldn't bet his life
Maybe things will change tomorrow
I wouldn't bet my life You would be mad to try
Maybe things will change tomorrow
The daily grind the moral wealth
A potrait of the national health
England is sick and I'm a casualty
I'm in a constant state of flux in terms of what to be
We generalise and we live inside
I feel we're heading for a ca ca catastrophe
The lost identity in my dream before
I ride the local train I'm not above the law
Serendipity took ahold of me
Fellini couldn't have dreamt of this
I wouldn't bet my life He wouldn't bet his life
Maybe things will change tomorrow
I wouldn't bet my life You would be mad to try
Maybe things will change tomorrow
The daily grind the moral wealth
The family binds by means of stealth
A portrait of the national health
Did you hear You what
I went down to the council today What did they say
They sent me away No way
My word holds no sway Who's to blame
You are Oh yeah
I guess I couldn't be tamed
The daily grind the moral wealth
The family binds by means of stealth
A portrait of the national health
