lyrics

A child waving a tiny, plastic union jack. It's got the flag on the front, it says "TESCO" on the back. He's grinning widely at a giant plasma screen, cheering the image of a pastel-coloured queen.

England is spagetti that got dropped on the floor, got covered in dust and now we're boiling some more. It's a pair of pyjamas with a hole in the crotch, keeps it feet in the past while it's darning its socks. England is a pencil line drawn on the ground, each generation an eraser that is rubbing it out. Countries clipping their toenails. Countries squeezing their zits. Countries, to humans, are what heads are to nits.

Racist boys of Royal Tunbridge Wells
Take a good hard look at yourselves
Do you really want us all to be just like you?
Bored, bitter, stupid with nothing to do?
What can I say after what you said -
The words you used for a scarf over my head?
You said take it down in respect for the troops
What the fuck are you on about? Fuck you!

I might have been too scared to fight, but you were too scared to talk.

(Mr Punch: Ridley Walker's gone to show, Ridley Walker's on the go, don't go Riddley Walker's track, Drop John's riding on his back)

I'm a nit, I'm a nit - I'm going down to Tescos
I'm a nit, I'm a nit - do you want anything from the shops?
I'm a nit, I'm a nit - Tesco Extra's really big
I'm a nit, I'm a nit - they've got enough blood to go around

I'm a nit I'm a nit I'm a nit I'm a nit
