England's Latest Clown - Graham Parker

His cultural importance

Hasn’t been determined yet

Or whether he’s a candidate

To join the jet set

They locked him up in pentonville to make him fall

But he came out standing straight and tall

They tried to steal his socks but he hung on to them

They were transparent you could see right through them

England’s latest clown

England’s latest clown

England’s latest clown

Well i ask you

How long will he wear that crown

He’s got a little habit man

And that can never hurt

And front teeth like a rabbit

And blood stains on his shirt

They threw him into wandsworth for a month of penance

He nearly got molested by the other tenants

But he came out looking handsome with a ton of pride

With muscles on his muscles and kate moss by his side

England’s latest clown

England’s latest clown

We want him in the army

It’ll be the scoop of scoops

Acting kinda barmy

Performing for the troops

We wanna to see him strung out we wanna see him thin

We wanna see somebody dig a hole and bury him

We wanna see him overdose we want the story grim

We wish that he was dead already and we wish we were

Him
