[Intro] A (x5) [Chorus] Lie back and think of England But when does England ever think of you?      Lie back and think of England But when does England ever think of you?      [Verse 1] Another day another queue in A&E        They look away they look away from you and me       Another way for them to shape the fucking tree       They look away they look away from you and me       [Prechorus] The line down the middle that serves the top Using your mind as a little gift shop And they sell you ideas that you never once thought Ave Maria will they ever get caught? Cost of living going off the rails If the food goes missing he is hot on your tails Have we forgotton what we’re supposed to be? Fuck off and we will sing.       [Chorus] So Lie back and think of England But when does England ever think of you?      So Lie back and think of England But when does England ever think of you?      [Verse 2] They look away another cut another fail       So light a fire and send them all to fucking jail       They look away another queue in A&E       They look away they look away at you and me       [Prechorus] The line down the middle that serves the top Using your mind as a little gift shop And they sell you ideas that you never once thought Ave Maria will they ever get caught? Cost of living going off the rails If the food goes missing he is hot on your tails Have we forgotton what we’re supposed to be? Fuck off and we will sing.       [Chorus] So Lie back and think of England But when does England ever think of you?      So Lie back and think of England But when does England ever think of you?

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde le désenchantement vis-à-vis de la société britannique, mettant en lumière l'indifférence des uns envers les luttes et les souffrances des autres. Elle évoque des images de l'inefficacité du système de santé, des inégalités sociales et d'une profonde frustration face à une réalité où les promesses ne sont jamais tenues. Le refrain rappelle avec ironie que, malgré les attentes placées sur le pays, il semble qu'England ne se soucie que peu des gens qui y vivent. Dans ce contexte, les thèmes de l'aliénation et du sentiment d'abandon sont forts, révélant une colère face à une société qui tourne le dos à ceux qui souffrent. La mention d'un « Ave Maria » souligne une impatience face à la moralité et aux promesses non tenues, accentuant le désespoir face à une situation qui semble sans issue.
