Capo 4

[Verse 1]
G                D                C
Margaret Thatcher on TV
                         G                          D               C
Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
             G                        D               C
Seems strange that she should be offended
                G                 D           C
The same orders are given by her

G            D                 C
I've said this before now
                       G                    D               C
You said I was childish and you'll say it now
G          D               C
Remember what I told you
    G                D                    C
If they hated me, they will hate you

[Chorus]
                             G             D          C
England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
            G             D                      C
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
         G             D            C
And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
            G                        D                         C
I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving

[Verse 2]
G                      D                      C
Young mother down at Smith Field, 5 a.m.
G                  D                  C
Looking for food for her kids
           G                        D              C
In her arms she holds three cold babies
              G                      D                          C
And the first word that they learned was "Please"

G               D                C
These are dangerous days
                           G             D                    C
To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
G        D                  C
Remember what I told you
           G                 D                         C
If you were of the world they would love you

[Chorus]
                             G             D          C
England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
             G            D                     C
It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
        G              D            C
And I love my boy, and that's why I'm leaving
            G                        D                         C
I don't want him to be aware that there's any such thing as grieving

"Ooooh"

G
