It is opening day and a brand new start The stores are bein' cleared around the fishermen's huts And the air bites the leaves, almost invisible cuts on the skin A lighthouse retired, but a new one was hired Abound twenty foot tall and painted in black and white Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him Only one boat sign, didn't cost to slow down And a long drop in the ocean Beware of the riptide, broken glass and train rides It's a new day and this is England Next to the park with the flag that's workin' flexible hours 'Cause there's a mismatch of carriages sorted in a boat of sunflowers Fairy lights on a building that's supplyin' us power from the sea Electricity lines flow like veins to the town In-between there's nothing but grass and pebbles on the ground Do not answer the wild here if you want to be found for the free View the famous sunrise cutting half by the sky And the empty of the desert Team of birds that swerve by and the land on the horizon It's a new day and this is England When it's time to escape from the heavier things There is nothin' like washin' away SongtexteI find this country of mine get some bad reputation Of being cold and grey But on the coast this south to the east follow ground I find serenity I've never found There's a peace, enough quiet in the silent bars That can't be mirrored by anywhere else Homes protruding from stones with their wood-coloured black It's got a car in the line, steam risin' out the shaft One door at the front and then just glass at the back for the view And the blue is so bright, you'll need shades for your eyes And the cable to pull over Take a walk and feel light, everything will be fine It's a new day and this is England Aus Songtexte Mania
