LYRICS: I thought they said meet, when the school kids called me mate I went home and told my mum after my first day I hadn’t long arrived from Ireland, the boy Kevineen’ Like generations before, Wolverhampton had seen We dreamed of America, of music and of life And Pete was the leader He taught me how to fight And that’s my life in England My life in England I can remember St Teresa’s social Where Kevin Barry rang out And Mum whispered to me, Kevin In England this song is not allowed I felt a weight, but at the same time romantic Cut off, but misty eyed And in their faces I saw pain and melancholia With smoke clouds on the side My life in England My Life In England My life in England My life in England My life in England Later in London, 10 year old Kevineen Wondered how things might have been if they stayed how they’d been Like the scruffy kids in Wolvo and the faces that I knew For accents like mine, in Harrow they were few So I learned to talk my cockney but I thought about the Wolves The sound of Wolverhampton, its toughness and the Doog My life in England My life in England My life in England My life in England {Ad libs to end}
