Story behind the song
A prophetic look at England now!
Lyrics
England's burning - are you dragging your feet? England's burning while you shift in your seat Fiddling away while the bonfires burn You scream at a face that'll never learn England's burning - a judge slowly nods England's burning more filthy sods With a no to this and a no to that But a nod and a wink to a bureaucrat England's burning while the news is read England's burning it's post-modern but dead Did Shakespeare write this or a female-black-smith? Who cares anyhow now our history is myth England's burning but we'll stay indoors England's burning its ancient made laws You want to take to the street? - We'll show you who's boss If you're not one of them then you're not one of us England's burning - it's a bloody shame England's burning on smoky-choked fame And when they sift through the ashes and ask, What is this? No answer will come but the faintest of hiss England's burning and the flames rise higher England's burning - now - FIRE! FIRE!
