England, as it always has been
PDF Version
Poet Laureate (nominee) pleases crowds with flashy moves.
The sea looks weary, its greasy waves drag themselves up the beach
The landladies drink tea and plan renovations
In a Rock shop, a Polish boy checks sell by dates on sweet pebbles
A daddy-long-legs falls ungainly in the garden of a murderer.
England, England
On the television in a pub a man is talking about football
In the toilet another man finishes his number two and realises there is no paper
Tom and Linda order coffee, Bob sighs and think about the apprentice
England, England
On a hill dogs are running for sticks and balls, people are talking
At the bottom of the hill a homeless person pretends he is sunbathing
A girl reads a book about another girl
A black man thinks about becoming a milkman
England
Rain pours down on the roofs of a new town
A boy lies in bed with his clothes on
A man writes a letter to a bank
Litter is swept away down the gutters
A lady decides not to go shopping
A dog goes to bed
England
Raj puts his tea in the airing cupboard and then forgets about it
Paul vows to leave Greggs and join a proper Bakery
Somewhere custard is too hot, somewhere custard is too cold
A thief throws an empty purse into the river
England
HELP! shouts a lady
GO AWAY! shouts a schoolboy
I HATE YOU! shouts a cat, to a dog
AND YOU IN DEAD MANS SHOES! screams a busty woman
Trees, rivers, mountains, birds, chocolate, lettuce, concrete,
