Then you see it happened again, the world turned over
Wouldn't it be something to live your Life On Mars?
Or at least demanding some kind of masquerade?
I never never ever believed in things uncertain
Hanging round the corner just when, just start doing time 
in the case of I my me and mine October 1969
Where were you in 76, the long hot summer?
You wanna be a rebel and turn your hosepipes on
With two years to wait for the sound of Jilted John
Virginia Wade was winning our hearts, she made us want to live
Vicious and his brothers were trying to set us free
But much more than this to you and me
This was the Silver Jubilee
We made something out of nothing
Sense of loathing and belonging
Some of us were gonna be rich with the Iron Lady
Lennon's gone already, let's post the boys to war
Oh mother what you worrying for? He's somewhere he's not been before
Then you see the Union Jack and it means nothing
But somehow you know that you will find your own way
It's a small reminder everyday that I was born in the UK
