ENGLAND'S GLORY ƒ   E A B F#m G#m C#m Shut up and listen, I'm going to tell thee a story About my trip down South with my box of England's Glory I took some numbies and a Bodkan, to make me feel at home I'm going down to London to dig up paving stones Got to London, half past six, I wished I'd never come, There's poofs down there drinking halves of lager Without notes from their mums No gravy at the chippy, and what's a saveloy? Every pub was full of foreigners and bottom boys. If I live to be forty, I'll never understand Why they're open til eleven down there To serve beer that's second hand Dialing 0625 on the telephone, I said: 'Pull us a pint of bitter, Ray, tonight I'm coming home.' We are all just simple lads, never asked for much, Just twenty pints of a Friday night and a wife at home to fuck. ©1984 The Macc Lads N.B.- 'Numbies' - Players No6/ Embassy No1           'Bodkan' - Large can containing 4 pints of Boddington's bitter           'England's Glory' - Brand of matches only sold in the North (at the time)           'Mother's note'- An ancient custom in Macclesfield that a note signed by a parent or guardian must be                                        proferred before any male can be served with a half-pint. N.B.- Prior to 1989, pubs in England closed at 10-30pm during the week. However, in London pubs shut at 11pm-           as gay Southerners couldn't drink as fast as hard Northerners.
