Uuhhhhhhhh whats the time

Jackson
Thompson (mother!)

Well as you can see we've got a new recruit to this land of hope and glory
Hands behind backs and legs apart and tell us all your unfortunate story..

Who me guv

Yes you sahhh

I was an innocent man 'till someone grassed me up a plan for earning a some big money
If I hadnt mouthed it about I am sure without doubt I d have missed this land of hope and glory

Well you poor poor sod
Here you're up at sharp at 6:30
A cold shower, down to breakfast
Cant have you looking dirty
I suggest you eat whats given you
Even if it doesnt agree with you
Cos its all you'll be getting up until 12:30
In between this time you stay up in your room and you can dream about life and good things

Two years of me teenage life
Given to this stand to attention life of land of hope and glory
I get so bored as time goes by
I think ill do something dirty
I pick at the floor for juicy butts
And I make meself a smoke
A bog roll and envelope sticky
All this helps to pass my time

As the evening drags on you can watch a bit of telly
Or gawp at pans people with their little bit of belly
Wash yourself cold with the heat of yesterday
Dont complain, learn the game and I'll get through another day

I watch the second hand on the clock at long last its 930
Off to bed, straight to sleep
As I leave this land of hope and glory

But only for a few seconds am I in exctasy before the bell rings to let me know,'shop at 6:30'
