lyrics

Who were the souls who walked these ancient roads
Up into the hills upon which our eyes still thrill
In the waters did they sink, in the valleys did they think
We'd be buying a legend of England

In the fields many toiled, in the mansions some were spoiled
As the factories grew so the smoke and dust did too
Cities, villagers and towns, war and hunger May queens crowned
As they built up their legend of England

So we laugh as we weep and love as we fight
Destroy what we keep turn the day in to the night

Let's take a stroll down the streets all paved with holes
From the mountains to the sands we can build our land
Instead of buying a legend of England

No more to doff the cap or let them draw the map
That leads to their legend of England

We're buying a legend that isn't England
