The New English Civil War
Liberal Democrat MEP Baroness Nicholson has suggested
the London bombings - now attributed to a cadre of
British-born Pakistan-trained suicide bombers - amount
to a "civil war."
Where have we heard this one before?
Time once again to update an old classic.....
The (New) English Civil War
with apologies to The Clash
When Mohammed comes marching home again,
hurrah, alla
He's coming by bus or undergound,
hurrah, alla
A woman's eye will shed a tear
To see those faces so beaten in fear
And it was just around the corner
in the English Civil War
It was still at the stage of clubs and fists,
hurrah, alla
When that big red bus got blown to bits,
hurrah, alla
Your face was blue in the light of the screen
As you watched the smoke and animal screams
And the silent army came marching in
right under your nose!
All right
There you are, ha, ha, I told you so,
hurrah, alla
Says everybody that we know,
hurrah, alla
But who hid a radio under the stairs?
Who got his orders unawares?
As the silent army came marching in
right under your nose!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When Mohammed comes marching home again,
hurrah, alla
Trained by the best in Pakistan,
hurrah, alla
The sun is shining and the kids are shouting loud
But you gotta know it's shining
through a crack in the cloud
'cause the shadow keeps spreading as
Mohammed comes marching home...
