England Lost lyrics

(Lost, lost, lost, lost)

I went to see England, but England lost

I went to see England, but England lost

And everyone said we were all ripped off

I went to see England, but England lost

(Lost, lost, lost)

It wasn't much fun standin' in the rain

And we all yelled loud and we all complained

Wasn't much of a game

I got soaked

I didn’t want to come anyway

I went to see England, but England lost

I went round the back, but they said “Piss off!”

I went to see England, but England lost

I went to see England, but England...

I went to see...

I went...

I...

I lost the plot, think I lost the point

Think I’ll go home and smoke a joint,

Anyway, didn’t wanna go

I went to find England, it wasn't there

I went to find England, it wasn't there

I think I lost it down the back of my chair

I think I'm losing my imagination

I'm tired of talking about immigration

You can't get in and you can't get out

I guess that’s what it’s really all about

[Skepta]

It's a déjà vu, I've seen it all before

Different season, same score

Everybody wants your head on a spike

But they were singin' your praises a day before

No new faces allowed in

This is getting overcrowded

You’re still fighting over houses

So I just pick it up, put it down and leave it where I found it

Feel like Macaulay Culkin, I'm home alone

Come to my window and throw a stone

Because I never wanna talk on the phone

Same problems, growin' up in the danger zone

Nothing's changed, same story

Same dirty stains on your dirty laundry

People on the streets, doin' all the work

And the men in the suits taking all the glory

I went to find England but

I went to find England but

I went to find England but

I went to find England but England’s lost

(Lost, lost, lost, lost) x2

I had a girl in Lisbon, and a girl in Rome

Now I'll have to stay at home

Lock the shutters, bolt the doors

London’s gonna be like Singapore

But not as hot

(Lost, lost, lost, lost)

They didn't turn up, the pundits complained

No real passion, it’s a national shame

They're much too young and much too old

Blowing much too hot and much too cold

That's what I thought

I went to find England

I went to find England

I went to find England

I went to find England, but England's lost.
