Genre/Lang. : Pop/Rock 

Then you see it happen again 
The world turned over 
Wouldn't it be something to live 
Your Life On Mars 
Or at least demanding 
Of some kind of masquerade 

I never never ever believed 
In things uncertain 
Hanging round the corner 
Just when do you start doing time 
In the case of I, my, me and mine 
October Nineteen sixty nine 

Where were you in Seventy Six 
The long hot summer 
You wanna be a rebel 
Then turn your hosepipes on 
With two years to wait 
For the sound of Jilted John 

Virginia Wade was winning our hearts 
She made us want to live 
Vicious and his brothers 
Were trying to set us free 
But much more than this to you and me 
This was the Silver Jubilee 

We made something out of nothing 
A sense of loathing and belonging 

Some of us were gonna be rich 
With the Iron Lady 
Lennon's gone already 
Let's post the boys to war 
Oh mother, what're you worrying for 
It's somewhere he's not been before 

Then you see the Union Jack 
And it means nothing 
But somehow you know 
That you will find your own way 
It's a small reminder every day 
That I was born in the U.K.
