Land Of Hope And Glory lyrics
by Madness



UrrrrhWhat's the time?I was trying to get some sleepAttention, urrraaah, bridgesShorty, Nutty, Jack, Tommos motorUuuh, as you can see we've got a new recruit to this land of hope and gloryHands behind you backs and legs apart and tell us all a storyWho me sir?Yes, you ssssir!I was an innocent man till someone grassed me up my planI'm earning some big a moneyI hadn't mouthed it about, I am sure without doubtI'd admit this land of hope and gloryWell you poor poor sod, here you're up sharp at six thirtyCold shower down to breakfast, can't have you looking dirtyI suggest you eat what's given you even if it doesn't agree with youIt's all you will be getting up until twelve thirtyIn between this time stay up in your room, you can dream about lifeGet itTwo years of my teen age life given to this stand to attention lifeOf land of hope and gloryI get so bored as time goes by, I think I'll do something dirtyI pick at the floor for juicy butts and I'll make myself a smokeA bog roll and envelope stick it, falling down to pass my timeAs the evening drags on, you can watch a little tellyOr dance with pans people with a little bit of bellyPass yourself cold with a hint of yesterdayDon't complain learn the game and I'll get through another dayI was sitting there on the clock at long last is nine thirtyOff to bed straight to sleep as I leave this land of hope and gloryBut only for a few seconds I'm in n ecstasyBefore the bell rings to let me know, sharp at six thirtyA the, a two, a six, a taQuiet, come on you lot, come on, lights out
