about

For Joe G

lyrics

You must be ever so proud of your country
To beat up a man on a train
Was your heartbeat the roar of those lions?
Was St George slaying dragons again?
You didn't stop when you'd broken his glasses
Or the blood splatter fell just like rain
You must be ever so proud of your country
To beat up a man on a train.

Chorus:
So I'll stand with my brothers and sisters
Whatever their colour, their class or their creed
I will run to their side in an instant
And hold out my hand in their hour of need
See England is not in your hatred
It's not in the kicks and the punches you aim
No, England needs a new pair of glasses now
England was that man on the train

I've given you lads a fair hearing
And I've come to accept that it's true
And Engerland does need defending
But it needs defending from you
And yes I believe in that freedom of speech
That you've been out preaching all day
But it seems that your version of freedom of speech
Is the freedom to take mine away

Chorus
