Lyrics
England's dreaming of '45
What a time to be alive
Atlee, Bevan and the welfare state
England's dreaming of when Britain was great
England's dreaming of '66
Gordon Banks between the sticks
The Kinks, the Beatles, the Stones on fire
England's dreaming of a lost empire
England's dreaming of unicorns
Sunlit uplands and stripy lawns,
Seaside bandstands and golden dawns
Little England's dreaming
England's dreaming of unicorns
Sunlit uplands and stripy lawns,
Seaside bandstands and golden dawns
Little England's dreaming
England's dreaming of '77
A red, white and blue patriots heaven
We all sang God Save The Queen
England's dreaming of a fascist regime.
England's dreaming of unicorns
Sunlit uplands and stripey lawns,
Seaside bandstands and golden dawns
Little England's dreaming
Faced with a choice of dumb and dumber
Lay back and enjoy the long hot summer
Or stand up and summon the ghost of Strummer
Little England's dreaming.
