English Rose
English Rose
Written by M Fegan
Once when I was walking on my own,Bloodshot eyes direct me home,
From behind three guys appeared said
“Gimme your phone!”
And I said
“No”
And they said
“Son,
Well the next few minutes will not be fun!”
And there was nowhere I could run,
And I knew I was well done for…
But when I woke up on the floor,
I said
“What happened to the country that I knew and loved before?”
Bohemia,
If you’re outside the door,
Please tell me why you left me
Tell me what you did it for.
And if you see the Albion go sail into the sun,
Well tell me its not over cos my dream has just begun!
And though I hate to say it!
I swear to God I’ll run!
Across the Sea to find a place
Till you tell me to come back home…
Once when I was outside of a club,
I met my brother from the pub,
From behind six guys appeared and
Spilt my blood!
And there was no way I could win the fight,
For English Rose try as I might,
I fell too short and got too hurt
My soul in plight…
But when I woke up in the court,
I said
“What happened to the justice that I knew and loved before?”
Horatio,
If you’re outside the door,
Please tell me why you left me
Tell me what you did it for.
And if you see the Victory go sail into the sun,
Well tell me its not over because I still hear the drums!
And though I hate to say it!
I swear to God I’ll run!
Across the Sea to find a place till you tell me to come back home!
So English Rose
Grow for the young
Its good to be in Sheffield son,
Go feel the Wind blow
And we’ll have fun!
We’ll have fun!

Grow for the young
Well I’m back off home to Birmingham
Go feel my blood flow
And we’ll have fun!

Grow for the young
With Dreams oh so Arcadian,
A universal invite,
All may come!
And we’ll have fun!
Oh what fun!
