This has been the opening song in the set since Sheldon left to join a tribute band. The lyrics are very "now" and justly merits its place as one of my best compositions.
lyrics
Wake up Britain, it's time to get a grip,
“there's a mutiny onboard” said the captain of our ship,
the passengers are nervous and the crew is in a mess,
the hull is taking water, so send an S.O.S.
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
Wake up.
Wake up Britain, ‘cos you’re fucking up my head,
we should be out there working but we're sound asleep in bed,
this affluent society must be overjoyed,
because they've nothing but contempt for the millions unemployed.
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
Wake up.
Wake up Britain, ‘cos the future's ain’t so great,
get us out of Europe or condemn us to our fate,
it wasn’t long ago when Britannia ruled the waves,
but now it is the British who are destined to be slaves.
Wake up, wake up, wake up,
Wake up..
I'm backing Britain but is Britain backing you?
I'm backing Britain but is Britain backing you?
I'm backing Britain but is Britain backing you?
