Correct Do They Mean Us ?

Lyrics:
Dance 'round the maypole, rappers and mummers Stepping in and out of time Cockneys, Brummies, Tykes and Geordies Players in this pantomime From Notting Hil to Tyneside Mela Marching ghosts of colliery bands Farmers markets, high-tech sweatshops Such a 'green and pleasant land' In an english country garden 'Clearing the land... Exurban man' Puddings made with bread and butter The lash of thewhip and rhyming slang Speakers corner, Miners Welfare Images all juxtaposed With this patchwork panorama You have to laugh, 'do they mean us? ' Lager louts and laddish culture St George's cross upon your pate John Bull on Beau Brummel's waistcoat Knuckles tatooedlove and Hate Schizophrenic, new age, new man Bite your lip don't make a fuss The malaise of 'the english patient' You have to ask, 'do they mean us? ' 'Oop north', where they 'bath in gravy' Sarees seen on cobbled streets Down south it's a top coat warmer 'kiss me quick' on Margate beech English blood runs mild and bitter Adam's ale or council pop? Multi-racial melting pot Such inherent contradictions A crisis of identity Are the smiles all disingenuous? Quote english eccentricity From Lands End up to Kielder Water All 'make believe' and 'just suppose' Given the 'whole sink and Puddle' In the end 'do they mean us? '
