Lyrics My Life in England, Part 1 - Dexys Midnight Runners
I
thought
they
said
neat
when
the
schoolkids
called
me
mate,
I
went
home
and
told
my
mum
after
my
first
date,
I
hadn't
long
arrived
from
Ireland,
the
boy
Kevinine,
Generations
before
Wolverhampton
hadn't
seen,
We
talked
of
America,
the
music
and
the
life,
Peter
was
the
leader,
he
taught
me
how
to
fight,
My
life
in
England,
I
can
remember
St
Theresa's
social
where
"Kevin
Barry"
rang
out,
My
mum
whispered
to
me
"Kevin,
In
England
that
song
is
not
allowed"
I
felt
awake
but
at
the
same
time
romantic,
cut
off
and
misty
eyed,
Their
faces
are
so
pained
and
melancoly,
with
smoke
clouds
on
the
side.
My
Life
in
England,
Later
in
London,
ten
year
old
Kevinine,
I
wondered
how
things
might
have
been
if
they'd
stayed,
The
scruffy
kids
and
the
faces
that
I
knew,
Cos
accents
like
mine,
in
Harrow
there
were
few,
I
learned
to
talk
more
cockney
but
thought
about
the
Wolves,
The
sound
of
wolverhampton,
it's
toughness
and
"the
doug",
My
Life
In
England
