Merry Old England Songtext
von The Libertines

I know, I know, I know you came the long way ′round
Just had to get to Merry Old England
Crisp packets and puddles on the ground
Welcome to Merry Old England
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, know you've been around
Just had to get to Merry Old England
I′ve seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding Merry Old England?

With her chalk cliffs, once white
They're greying in the sodium light, oh
Oh my, my, my, my
Congrats on staying alive, hope they don't catch you tonight


The illegals have landed in Dalby Square
Did they give you everything that you dreamed of?
A B&B and vouchers for three square
Is it everything that you dreamed of?
Oh yeah, now they′re rushing through Albania
They′ve got to get to Merry Old England
And Syrians, Iraqis and Ukrainians
Oh, how are you finding Merry Old England?

With her chalk cliffs, once white
They're greying in the sodium light, oh
Oh my, my, my, my
Congrats on staying alive, hope they don′t catch you tonight

I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
Welcome to Merry Old England
I′ve seen you on the swings and the merry-go-round
How you finding Merry Old England?
Yeah, I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
You had to get to Merry Old England
I′ve seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding Merry Old England?

Oh, with her chalk cliffs, once white
They're greying in the sodium light
Oh my, my, my, my
Good luck on staying alive, hope they don't catch you tonight
