How can they be tired of England? They'll never know the England that we know Never know where the ones with dreams go, no Never notice the skies with their eyes down low We'll never be tired of England United in rain in the cities To channel the pain and the pity's woe To carry them back to the place below With the blues, the grays The green, the brown To lonely nights uptown Don't let them bring you down Lonely nights uptown Don't let them bring us down, no How can they be tired of London The scents in the air on a warm day Generation of hope that sees better days But moving along in the same old ways We'll never be tired of London From Clerkenwell into the city The state of the rudes is a pity though Generations of cramps with their kids in tow With the blues, the grays The green, the brown To lonely nights uptown Don't let them bring you down Lonely nights uptown They'll never bring us down, no While the queen of England sits on her throne Of bingo cards and chicken bones Don't drink yourself to a lonely death In casinos on crystal meth Don't drink yourself to a lonely death In casinos on crystal meth So sing your song of the Banbury-Cross Don't breathe a word about your loss Jack Frost, old Nick to follow down With cut price cars and top shelf porn How can they be tired of England? How can they be tired of England? How can they be tired of England? How can they be tired of England?
