Missing Andy

Missing Andy - The Way We're Made (Made In England) lyrics

rate me

I'm made in England

i call it my kingdom

she may let me down

she would never take a bow for me

sold down the river

you scream till they hear ya

and i'm still standing proud

even as every town has fallen down to it's knees

right from the time when i was born in 89'

i lived in a terraced house 10th down the line

we didnt have much money but we got on just fine

and knock down ginger is what we played just to pass the time

and for school dinners we had something called semilina

your guess is good as mine i dont know what it is either

and i can remember an explosion going off on the wharf one day

and i was scared and that's when mum used to say

she would often tell me don't be afraid

she would often say it's just that things ain't great

and all through the night time sleeping with the lights

it's just the way you was made just the way you was made

she would often tell me just be safe

she would often say run fight another day

never went to church but yet sometimes we prayed

its just the way i was made

I'm made in England

i call it my kingdom

she may let me down

she would never take a bow for me

sold down the river

you scream till they hear ya

and i'm still standing proud

even as every town has fallen down to it's knees

straight home from school and it was grange hill on the box

dinner was a chippy now we love the curry shop

then straight to the streets to see what was happening

there was still a healthy fear for the old bill for breaking and entering

the only bit of grass we had said no ball games

and in the bushes there was glue sniffers and perverts on a day to day

and then a bus explodes and 7/7 blows us all away

and thats when i got advice from me dad

and he would often tell me don;t be afraid

he would often say its just the same fear a different name

so take it in your stride dont let it compromise

just the way you was made son just the way you was made

he would always tell me dont cause a fight

but if it comes your way son fight for your life

never went to church but sometimes i prayed

its just the way i was made

I'm made in England

i call it my kingdom

she may let me down

she would never take a bow for me

sold down the river

you scream till they hear ya

and i'm still standing proud

even as every town has fallen down to it's knees

And I love the feeling and sense of pride

is when England are playing and we can stand there side by side

and the passion is felt throughout the ground

or people watching on their TV screens

coz we hope we're gonna bring it home and it ain't just a dream

god how sad is that

i talk about pride

and you tag me the enemy

i'm just your average working class tea in a flask

subsidizing your properties!

but we won't stand up and take back and stop this all this greed

there is no choice out there they all bring us to our knees

and sometimes we drink drink drink to excess

cos one half dont realise the other half's in a mess

so take anoither picture and send me the fine

charge me the earth for all the things i need to buy

its tottally insane but i guess we wont complain

its just the way we're made

I'm made in England

i call it my kingdom

she may let me down

she would never take a bow for me

sold down the river

you scream till they hear ya

and i'm still standing proud

even as every town has fallen down to it's knees

I'm made in England

i call it my kingdom

and i'm still standing proud

even as every town has fallen down to it's knees
