The Libertines – Merry Old England Lyrics

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 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,
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?
B&B and vouchers for three square… is it everything you dreamed
Yeah now they’re Russian through Albania.
They’ve got to get to Merry Old England,

You Syrians, Iraqis and Ukrainians…
Oh how you finding Merry old England?

With her chalk cliffs, once white, decaying in the sodium light,
my my oh my, congrats on staying alive,
if they don’t catch you tonight.
