Recycled Englishman
I have waited so very very long
To live in this country where I belong
For ever in this land will I stay
no more to roam no more to stray
This is the perfect place to be
I was imprisoned and now I'm free
Gone the tress gone the pain
I was mad and now I'm sane
Peace of mind and soul have I
Only with joy will I now cry
Unshackled from burdens of the past
Time to live now before the die is cast
This land of hope this land of dreams
where nothing is quite what it seems
God raised this Island from the sea
Knowing one day it would en-capture me

and see those blue waters.
Run to the pub and order a pint of lager
then return

The evening was dismal in London Town
The fog had moved in for the night.
Three shillings was all that
Oh England so pleasant and green,
ruled for years by our gracious Queen,
can a better place e’er be seen?
