Paul Heaton - One Man's England [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I was six when they came into my uncle's shop
And the 'pop, pop, pop' just wouldn't stop
But I felt too small to fight them all

We were sat out on the steps drinking lemonade
And the 'GO HOME' graffiti had begun to fade
And I'd grown to almost six feet tall

When the [?longest old Brits?] just marched on past
[?Couplin' German's EKI with the with the Union Jacks?]
That's one arranged marriage, you'd have to agree

Real arranged marriage affecting this town
Is the white who beat his daughter for marrying a brown
That's one arranged marriage the media don't see

[Chorus]
One man's last orders
Is another man's 'last round' bell
Making one man's England
Another man's hell

East vs. West will always land in England's lap
From the burying of the burqa
By the fool in baseball cap

[Verse 2]
Where the white man's wheeling and dealing
Whilst the black man's simply dealing
Hypocrisy pours from the cracks in the floor
To the gaps that appear in the ceiling

They said, 'Jamaicans are laid back and lazy'
West Indies is full of damn crazies
But the same laid back is quick around track
With white man in latest Mercedes

[?And the great Shinchi, welfare scrounger
Ain't the real fraud
It's that meaning we're the cancer
To move their cash abroad?]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Real criminal ain't livin'
In a run-down council flat
He's residing on a beach somewhere
Panama cigar and hat

The real terrorist ain't spoiling the beer
Or reading the Koran
He's sitting in 10 Downing Street
And he works for Uncle Sam

[Chorus]
