[Verse 1: Context] A cathedral placed in a basement Embrace the amazement Strobe lights, wave your hand In front of your face and know that your awakening's nascent City nights when your life's rural Live lavishly frugal Pot Noodles and bugle, youth who Can't find identity via Google And this won't be forever Let's Desert Eagle hand to whoever's next We're not in Hethersett Shared this with my best mates yes That I've never met
[Pre-Hook: Context] Spilling out in a proud diction Feel the bass as it pounds, listen So in deep underground Britain We must rip up the soundsystem
[Hook x4]
[Verse 2: Context] Wear new trainers raving? Schoolboy error, blatant Sweat cascading, blame raves to bass For my lack of savings, indulged my cravings Adulthood makes you compromise That's why we're out lost at night Escaping what we're boxed inside It's how you think when you're ostricised Gully, loaded, posh or dole Light it up, stop, drop and roll Sober or gone boshed a load This is England, feel it Fish and chip shop rock and roll
[Pre-Hook]
[Hook x4]
[Bridge: Context x2] Smudged stamps on my hand Smudged stamps on my hand Smudged stamps on my hand Wristband, satisfied demand

[Pre-Hook]
[Hook x4]
[Outro: Context] This is England, feel it This is England, feel it This is England, feel it Fish and chip shop rock and roll
