lyrics

Somewhere in England there’s a treasure chest
That’s where England keeps her very best
Hidden away, marked with an X
Somewhere in England

Look inside, there’s a sense of pride
That doesn’t shout, keeps it dignified
Sits on the beach and holds back the tide
Somewhere in England

Somewhere in England there’s some open arms
A warm welcome and a good luck charm
Proud to be a shelter from the storm
Somewhere in England

It’s buried now under feet of silt
Under centuries of guilt
Under all the monuments we’ve built
Somewhere in England

Somewhere in England there’s a shining wit
That sees trouble and laughs at it
A soft heart with a seed of grit
Somewhere in England
