Sean Taylor – „This Is England“ (2019)
Ein „talking blues“ mit federndem Soul-/R&B-Backing, ein Kommentar zur Lage der Nation.

Breathe in
Breathe out
Sex addict internet porn
How come all the bedsheets are worn?
Political correctness
With a constant erection
Everyone has got some kind of condition
It’s an anti-depressant competition
Better turn off the ignition
Get high on hipster nutrition
With ornate beards and craft beer highs
Coffee shakes and gentrify
Where has my city gone?
Sugar is the new nicotine but smoking kept me thin
With a sexy old yellow tooth grin
Might have had a shadow on the lung
But darlin I always growled when I sung
Breathe in
Breathe out
We pay the world for watered down beer, but all music is free
Spotify this poem for you and me
Everyone meets on Tinder
Even Romeo and Juliet
Aren’t you fuckers married yet?
Have kids settle down get a job
When you are in for life you can be a slob
We are addicted to darkness and the worst of the worst
The world that owns us is cradled in a hearse
Brexit news and Brexit blues
Find us a despot to sell our fish and chips to
We play hard to get but not for long
Light one up and get out the bong
We take cards, contactless and cash
Half remembered tales of whisky and ass
We want our country back they scream
But now they can’t find where they left it
As we Morris dance to Brexit
