England Sparkles
(To the tune 'Jesus loves me...')
( 4/4 // G / C G / G / C G D G // )
(major sevenths for verses 2 & 4)
England sparkles, this I know.
The Daily Mail tells me so.
And every time that I feel bad,
They point me to the latest fad.
I fear my mind amounts to nought,
The daily papers form my thought.
My heart is not entirely real,
Soap operas tell me how to feel.
England sparkles, this I know.
The Daily Mail tells me so.
And every time that I feel bad,
They point me to the latest fad.
Is every thing as it should be?
My world and I in harmony?
Sometimes I feel emerging doubts,
I read some junk to blot them out.
Yes, every time that I feel low,
I'll read more lies, my mind to blow.
I'm content with the status quo,
The Daily Mail tells me so.
