Where did all the british kites go? Cos I'd really like to know! Did we get out priced in another war? Compromising quality for cheaper pawns? In favour of plastic pieces now built abroad
We forced check mate onto the world then threw away the game Quality control officer said the health and safety officer was to blame Cos he's wrapped up in red tape and has gone insane The queen turned her back on the country when it began to rain She was advised by a department that had no name Over analysing number crunchers calculating Britain is broke again
Tricks of the trade and craftsmanship forgot Industrialisation replaced by foreign robots Built in Europe but the Chinese's patent has been lost The Chinese made a pact with the world to copy the lot Now our queen sips tea from a copied Ming teacup Her gift from an emperor after he slammed his doors firmly shut
Coal miners, train networks, Royal Mail, bus routes, Car giants and more All either closed down or privatised cos the world got poor Poor bankers playing monopoly for a bonus offshore Now the government can't payout the pension schemes it offered before Millions of worker money spent elsewhere Is it any wonder they demonstrate and strike so we are aware? They were promised this and that But now their own money they payed in has lined a tailored suit for another fat cat Who earns a million a year but his wife thinks its crap
I look to the skies at the kites that blow away Remembering how Great Britain was just the other day When we had great quality products and they was proud to say We rule the world and we do it our way
