for fairer sex song of praise angleland special place
attitude mate to mate
above rest of human race
what passes for passion in your eyes keep it wrapped up out of sight
mincing beef, cigarettes half a bitter, bitter sex oven ready stuff it quick vaccination little prick
bang bang you're dead chop chop off head
that's how it's done
in angleland
what passes for passion in your eyes keep it wrapped up out of sight
short of breath, flushing face
every nerve under strain in position keep it clean missionary make ends meet
jab jab dunt hurt aye up nice pair
slag boiler bird
in angleland
island folk tidal flow
into harbour come and go union jack harvest queen
done our duty, same time next week
what passes for passion in your eyes keep it wrapped up out of sight
