Oooooh that's nice, Oooooh Paradise


Many manifestos
Nailed up on the wall
Out of the blue ... only for you
Printed regulations
Quick to disapprove
Restrictions restrictions

Skin and bones can't find a way
To keep the British blues at bay
Underneath the surface laughter
Voices quiver in the dark
In England, in England, in England, in England
(Oooooh that's nice, Oooooh Paradise)
