[00:00.00] The Way We're Made - Missing Andy
[00:06.09] I'm made in England
[00:08.42] I call it my kingdom
[00:11.32] She might let me down
[00:13.48] She would never take a bow for me
[00:16.93] Sold down the river
[00:19.66] You scream till they hear ya
[00:22.57] And I'm still standing proud
[00:24.81] Even as every town has fallen down
[00:28.74] To it's knees
[00:41.08] Right from the time when I was born in 89
[00:43.72] I lived in a terraced house
[00:45.32] Tenth down the line
[00:46.56] We didn't have much money
[00:47.74] But we got on just fine
[00:49.07] And knock down ginger is
[00:50.20] What we played just to pass the time
[00:52.26] And for school dinners
[00:53.32] We had something called semilina
[00:55.20] Your guess is good as mine
[00:56.50] I don't know what it is either
[00:58.03] And I can remember an explosion going off
[00:59.96] On the wharf one day
[01:00.95] And I was scared
[01:01.77] And that's when mum used to say
[01:03.59] She would often tell me don't be afraid
[01:06.37] She would often say
[01:07.43] It's just that things ain't great
[01:09.11] And all through the night time sleeping
[01:11.02] With the lights
[01:12.01] It's just the way you was made
[01:13.42] Just the way you was made
[01:15.18] She would often tell me just be safe
[01:17.67] She would often say run
[01:19.12] Fight another day
[01:20.52] Never went to church but yet
[01:22.00] Sometimes we prayed
[01:23.23] It's just the way I was made
[01:24.74] I'm made in England
[01:27.45] I call it my kingdom
[01:30.35] She may let me down
[01:32.63] She would never take a bow for me
[01:36.01] Sold down the river
[01:38.73] You scream till they hear ya
[01:41.68] And I'm still standing proud
[01:43.78] Even as every town has fallen down
[01:47.82] To it's knees
[01:49.03] Straight home from school
[01:49.88] And it was grange hill on the box
[01:51.97] Dinner was a chippy now
[01:53.03] We love the curry shop
[01:54.62] Then straight to the streets to see
[01:56.03] What was happening
[01:57.02] There was still a healthy fear for the old bill
[01:59.16] For breaking and entering
[02:00.31] The only bit of grass we had
[02:01.63] Said no ball games
[02:02.85] And in the bushes there was glue sniffers
[02:04.41] And perverts on a day to day
[02:05.92] And then a bus explodes
[02:07.31] And 7/7 blows us all away
[02:09.46] And that's when I got advice from me dad
[02:11.26] And he would often tell me
[02:12.79] Don't be afraid
[02:14.10] He would often say
[02:15.14] It's just the same fear a different name
[02:17.22] So take it in your stride
[02:18.50] Don't let it compromise
[02:19.95] Just the way you was made son
[02:21.34] Just the way you was made
[02:22.78] He would always tell me
[02:24.02] Don't 'cause a fight
[02:25.37] But if it comes your way son
[02:26.83] Fight for your life
[02:28.18] Never went to church
[02:29.31] But sometimes I prayed
[02:30.98] It's just the way I was made
[02:32.38] I'm made in England
[02:35.21] I call it my kingdom
[02:38.04] She may let me down
[02:40.22] She would never take a bow for me
[02:43.69] Sold down the river
[02:46.43] You scream till they hear ya
[02:49.43] And I'm still standing proud
[02:51.52] Even as every town has fallen down
[02:55.62] To it's knees
[02:56.80] And I love the feeling
[02:57.76] And sense of pride
[02:59.04] Is when England are playing
[03:00.10] And we can stand there side by side
[03:02.05] And the passion is felt
[03:03.01] Throughout the ground
[03:03.80] Or people watching on their TV screens
[03:05.45] 'Cause we hope we're gonna bring it home
[03:07.09] And it ain't just a dream
[03:08.44] God how sad is that
[03:10.14] I talk about pride
[03:11.70] And you tag me the enemy
[03:13.52] I'm just your average working class
[03:15.51] Tea in a flask
[03:16.20] Subsidizing your properties
[03:18.68] But we won't stand up and take back
[03:20.26] And stop this all this greed
[03:21.73] There is no choice out there
[03:23.20] They all bring us to our knees
[03:24.70] And sometimes we drink drink drink to excess
[03:27.27] 'Cause one half don't realise the other half's
[03:29.72] In a mess
[03:30.67] So take another picture
[03:31.78] And send me the fine
[03:33.42] Charge me the earth for all the things
[03:34.75] I need to buy
[03:35.90] It's totally insane
[03:37.09] But I guess we won't complain
[03:38.80] It's just the way we're made
[03:40.43] I'm made in England
[03:42.89] I call it my kingdom
[03:45.84] She may let me down
[03:47.96] She would never take a bow for me
[03:51.47] Sold down the river
[03:54.16] You scream till they hear ya
[03:57.14] And I'm still standing proud
[03:59.51] Even as every town has fallen down
[04:03.18] To it's knees
[04:14.42] I'm made in England
[04:16.80] I call it my kingdom
[04:19.86] And I'm still standing proud
[04:21.87] Even as every town has fallen down
[04:25.73] To it's knees
