- Britain!
- This is the place where we drop lots of litter,
- Walk on it, side-step it, kick in the gutter,
- Rush past it, don’t notice it, leave for another,
- Don’t worry, don’t care & don’t even bother.
- But this is the place we could set a new trend,
- Learn how to ‘pause’ and learn how to ‘bend’.
- Learn how to put all our grot in a bin,
- Every package and paper, carton and tin.
- The Manchester bombing, 22nd of May
- Killed 22 beautiful people that day
- So I made it a vow that I’d clean up the streets
- Of fag ends and bottles and wrappers of sweets
- A vow to be certain I’d never forget
- And make our great country more beautiful yet
- Every street, road and pavement a beautiful view
- To remember the beautiful, loved, twenty-two.
