Well as you can see we've got a new recruit to this land of hope and glory

Hands behind backs and legs apart and tell us all your unfortunate story...

Who me guv

Yes you sahhh

I was an innocent man 'till someone grassed me up a plan for earning a some big money

If I hadnt mouthed it about I am sure without doubt I d have missed this land of hope and glory

Well you poor poor sod

Here you're up at sharp at 6:30

A cold showerdown to breakfast

Cant have you looking dirty

I suggest you eat what's given you

Even if it doesnt agree with you.

Cos it's all you'll be getting up until 12:30

In between this time you stay up in your room and you can dream about life and good things

Two years of me teenage life

Given to this stand to attention life of land of hope and glory

I get so bored as time goes by

I think ill do something dirty

I pick at the floor for juicy butts

And I make meself a smoke

A bog roll and envelope sticky

All this helps to pass my time

As the evening drags on you can watch a bit of telly

Or gawp at pans people with their little bit of belly

Wash yourself cold with the heat of yesterday

Dont complainlearn the game and I'll get through another day

I watch the second hand on the clock at long last it's 930

Off to bedstraight to sleep

As I leave this land of hope and glory

But only for a few seconds am I in exctasy before the bell rings to let me know'shop at 6:30'
