    Long ago life was clean
    Sex was bad and obscene
    And the rich were so mean
    Stately homes for the lords
    Croquet lawns, village greens
    Victoria was my queen
    Victoria!...

    I was born, lucky me
    In a land that I love
    Though I am poor, I am free
    When I grow I shall fight
    For this land I shall die
    Let her sun never set
    Victoria,!...

    Land of hope and gloria
    Land of my victoria
    Land of hope and gloria
    Land of my victoria
    Victoria!...

    Canada to India
    Australia to Cornwall
    Singapore to Hong Kong
    From the west to the east
    From the rich to the poor
    Victoria loved them all
    Victoria!...

    and for good measure, the song that should be their national anthem...



    A police car and a screaming siren -
    A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete -
    A baby wailing and stray dog howling -
    The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking -

    That's Entertainment.

    A smash of glass and a rumble of boots -
    An electric train and a ripped up 'phone booth -
    Paint splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat -
    Lights going out and a kick in the balls -

    That's Entertainment.

    Days of speed and slow time Mondays -
    Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday -
    Watching the news and not eating your tea -
    A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls -

    That's Entertainment.

    Waking up at 6 a.m. on a cool warm morning -
    Opening the windows and breathing in petrol -
    An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard -
    Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays -

    That's Entertainment.

    Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes -
    Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume -
    A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac -
    Fedding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away -

    That's Entertainment.

    Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight -
    Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude -
    Getting a cab and travelling on buses -
    Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs -

    That's Entertainment.
