Land Of Hope And Glory

Madness Madness

Urrrrh
What's the time?
I was trying to get some sleep

Attention, urrraaah, bridges
Sharkey, Nutley, Jackson, Thompson,Master

Well, as you can see we've got a new recruit to this land of hopeand glory
Hands behind backs and legs apart and tell us all of yourunfortunate story.

Who me sir?
Yes, you ssssir!

I was an innocent man till someone grassed me of a plan
Of earning some big a money
If I hadn't mouthed it about, I am sure without doubt
I'd 'ave missed this land of hope and glory

Well you poor poor sod, here you're up sharp at six thirty
Cold shower down to breakfast, can't have you looking dirty
I suggest you eat what's given you even if it doesn't agree withyou
Cos It's all you're be getting up until twelve thirty
In between this time stay up in your room, you can dream oflife
good things

Two years of my teen age life given to this stand to attentionlife
Of land of hope and glory
I get so bored as time goes by, I think I'll do something dirty
I pick at the floor for juicy butts and I'll make myself asmoke
A bog roll and envelope stick it, all this helps to pass mytime

As the evening drags on, you can watch a little telly
Hot Gossip pans people with a little bit of belly
A hot drink served cold with the heat of yesterday's
Don't complain learn the game and I'll get through another day

I watch the second hand on the clock at long last is ninethirty
Off to bed straight to sleep as I leave this land of hope andglory
But only for a few seconds I'm in n ecstasy
Before the bell rings to let me know, sharp at six thirty

A the, a two, a six, a ta

Quiet, come on you lot, come on, lights out
