lyrics

Goodbye to England, So long my old friend
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end
To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine
But don't say your English, that's way out of line

The French and the Germans may call themselves such
So may the Norwegians, the Swedes and the Dutch
You can say your Russian or maybe a Dane
But don't say your English ever again.

At Broadcasting House the word is taboo
In Brussels it's scrapped, in Parliment too
Even schools are affected. Staff do as they are told
They must not teach of the England of old.

Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw
The pupils don't learn about them anymore
How about Agincourt, Hastings, Arnhem or Mons?
When England Lost hosts of her very brave sons.

We are not Europeans, how can we be
Europe is miles away over the sea
We're the English from England, let's all be proud
Stand up and be counted-shout it out loud!

Let's tell our Government and Brussels too
We're proud of our heritage, the Red, White and Blue
Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack
Let the world know WE WANT OUR ENGLAND BACK!
