In house and health

Make a little bit, break a little bit

In skint and wealth

Weep a little bit, keep a little bit

In book and pen

Up another rung, down another rung

And now and then you fall

And I break to you the news

It's as bad as it seems

And so they kick and punch and scratch

And I shrink a little bit

They spread the net to catch

But I know



But that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling

Yes that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling

Proud that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling



In North and South

Give a little bit, take a little bit

In keeping out

Change a little law, hate a little more

In sight and sound

Fight another war, close another door

In private ground you live

And I break to you the news

It's as bad as it seems



And if you raise your voice to shout

And I have a little bit

It's time that you got out

But no I have no doubt



But that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling

Yes that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling

Proud that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling



And I break the news to you

It's as bad as it seems



So they kick, punch, scratch

Shrink a little bit

They spread the net to catch

But I know



But that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling

Yes that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling

Proud that England is my home

But my heart is forever travelling



New England
