about

A view of an England that never really was.

lyrics

I'm Britain in bloom on a hill in a valley
I'm Britain in Bloom bluebell wood where you dally
I'm Britain in bloom by a stream on a river
For now and forever I'm Britain in Bloom

I'm Britain in bloom, tied to the strings of your apron
I'm Britain in bloom, like some Carry On matron
Wrapped in your arms I could sleep like a baby, and never wake maybe
I'm Britain in Bloom

I'm Britain in bloom, where they say Shakespear once slept
I'm Britain in bloom, in a village that's well kept
The bard and the banned, let those cuckoos be damned, building castles of sand
I'm Britain in Bloom

I'm Britain in bloom, over the rooftops of London
I'mBritain in Bloom along the sea front in Brighton
I'm Britain in bloom down the streets of Doncaster, I'll never forget her
when she was in bloom

I'm Britain in bloom, I'm begging your pardon
I'm Britain in bloom, in a quaint cottage garden
You must stay for tea, give up your seat for a lady, tree lined and shady
Forever Britain in Bloom

Village green bowled me over, across the white cliffs of Dover
far out cross the sea
