Badly Drawn Boy - Born in the U.K. lyrics

Then you see it happened again, the world turned over

Wouldn't it be something to live your Life On Mars?

Or at least demanding some kind of masquerade?

I never never ever believed in things uncertain

Hanging round the corner just when, just start doing time

in the case of I my me and mine October 1969

Where were you in 76, the long hot summer?

You wanna be a rebel and turn your hosepipes on

With two years to wait for the sound of Jilted John

Virginia Wade was winning our hearts, she made us want to live

Vicious and his brothers were trying to set us free

But much more than this to you and me

This was the Silver Jubilee

We made something out of nothing

Sense of loathing and belonging

Some of us were gonna be rich with the Iron Lady

Lennon's gone already, let's post the boys to war

Oh mother what you worrying for? He's somewhere he's not been before

Then you see the Union Jack and it means nothing

But somehow you know that you will find your own way

It's a small reminder everyday that I was born in the UK
