	Watch strap tight, he reels from indifference
	Out of sight, emotional severance he pays to you
	It’s a walk in the park, it’s a steal
	So we all fall down at your heels
	Watch strap tight, he’s dreaming of reverence
	Splintered light to feel insignificance
	I’ve got plenty of time for you
	I’m so ready to fly with nowhere to fly to
	Pick yourself up just today
	Can we get it together not throw it away
	At the end of the day, you’re going home
	You find you’re empty but it’s way too late
	An open letter was a quiet refrain
	And when you hit the gas hard but the stop sign numbs
	Can you hold yourself back when the red mist comes?
	Yeah, when the red mist comes
	Is it worth the mention this is not her fault?
	But you never worked it, so plain to see
	As the kids run screaming when the hand comes down
	Is it your ideal democracy?
	As the red mist comes
	(As a point returns, we’ll find you now)
	As the red mist comes
	(Always be one step behind you now)
	As the red mist comes
	When there’s nothing left, what will remain?
	Can you learn to find yourself again?
	Through the wire comes the call
	There’s a family snapshot now discarded
	You’re going to join the ranks of the disenchanted
	Good for you, it’s coming true
	Through the wire, through it all
	There’s a time to leave the past behind you
	Come and join the throng of the disenfranchised
	Good for you, so coming true
	This is England, and you love me
	I am England, yeah you love me
	So much to learn, and so little time
	There will always seem a thousand ways to be
	(Through the wire, when you fall)
	There’s a picture that you’ve gone and broken
	Try to tell them that in polite and pleasant company
	It’s not for free
	This is England, and you love me
	I am England, yeah you love me
	For the attention for Mr Fibes
	We have always had utmost faith in your abilities as an employee
	It has however come to our attention in recent months
	That you have been caught interfering, interfering in the worst possible way
	You have clearly gone fishing, gone fishing
	There once was a vicar who walked in this garden
	No flowers would bend for him
	He praised all the people who carried his crosses
	And never confessed to his sin
	There once was a mother who died in a hospital ward
	In all dignity
	She never expected from those who surrounded her
	Giving all that she could give
	Mother, look what you’ve done now
	You’ve unravelled the masses
	And shattered the sacred cow
	Of all of the laws we should follow remorse
	Some should be broken
	And others we choose to ignore
	La la la, la la la
	Mother, could I be wrong now
	It’s a million to one
	But I’ve always been sure somehow
	These righteous remarks throwing stones in the dark
	After all of these years, I’m still thinking of you
	La la la, la la la
	At the end of the day, at the end of the day
	I’m going home
	I’m going home

	Watch strap tight, he reels from indifference
	Out of sight, emotional severance he pays to you
	It' s a walk in the park, it' s a steal
	So we all fall down at your heels
	Watch strap tight, he' s dreaming of reverence
