[00:00.15]	They say immigrants steal the hubcaps
[00:03.78]	Of the respected gentlemen
[00:07.53]	They say it would be wine an' roses
[00:11.94]	If England were for Englishmen again
[00:18.36]	I saw a dirty overcoat at the foot of the pillar of the road
[00:25.41]	Propped inside was an old man whose time would not erode
[00:31.59]	When the night was snapped by sirens those blue lights circled past
[00:39.24]	The dance hall called for an' ambulance the bars all closed up fast
[00:46.29]	My silence gazing at the ceiling while roaming the single room
[00:53.37]	I thought the old man could help me if he could explain the gloom
[01:00.45]	You really think it all new, you really think about it too
[01:07.50]	The old man scoffed as he spoke to me I'll tell you a thing or two
[01:14.73]	I missed the fourteen- eighteen war but not the sorrow afterwards
[01:21.33]	With my father dead and my mother ran off
[01:25.11]	My brothers took the pay of hoods
[01:28.62]	The twenties turned the north was dead
[01:32.13]	The hunger strike came marching south
[01:35.52]	At the garden party not a word was said
[01:39.18]	The ladies lifted cake to their mouths
[01:42.81]	The next war began and my ship sailed with battle orders written red
[01:49.89]	In five long years of bullets and shells left ten million dead
[01:56.85]	The few returned to old Piccadilly we limped around Leicester Square
[02:03.93]	The world was busy rebuilding itself the architects could not care
[02:11.10]	How could we know when I was young all the changes that were to come
[02:17.73]	All the photos in the wallets on the battlefield
[02:21.09]	And now the terror of the scientific sun
[02:24.48]	There was masters an' servants an' servants an' dogs
[02:28.50]	They taught you how to touch your cap
[02:31.77]	Through strikes an' famine an' war an' peace, England never closed this gap
[02:38.94]	So leave me now the moon is up but remember all the tales I tell
[02:46.05]	The memories that you have dredged up are on letters forwarded from hell
[03:20.88]	The streets were by now deserted
[03:24.84]	The gangs had trudged off home
[03:28.50]	The lights clicked out in the bed sits
[03:32.01]	Old England was all alone
