When I arrive eyes wide fired up 
Tried not to slide and let the side down 
Now the plane's on the ground 
I'll find a good profession 
 
It's 1957, I've come to the motherland 
To make a home to put my bed in 
This weather does my head in 
Some people are less than kind I wish 
 
Mama was here so I could unwind 
But I'm supposed to be the good news 
So I lace up these hard black shoes 
And look more work 
 
These streets were never paved with gold 
They simply make my feet hurt 
They just make my feet hurt 
 
Just a little money in my pocket 
And a little bit left for those I love 
To have enough food on my table 
And a little bit more for those who call 
 
And in this land of hope and glory 
You'd think there's enough for us all 
You'd think there's enough for us all 
 
When I arrive eyes wide petrified 
Tried not to cry and let the side down 
Now the plane's on the ground 
 
It's 20 years later, mama's in the arrival lounge 
I take a few seconds to kiss her 
Then look around at what's happened to my home town 
What's going on 
 
But papa doesn't look too strong 
Rush home in a cab, windows up 
Now I hear dad cough 
"We gotta get in before they switch the lights and water off 
For the night" 
 
I have to get to know the guard dogs 
'Cause they bite 
Progress just passed us by to the right 
 
Just a little money in my pocket 
And a little bit left for those I love 
To have enough food on my table 
And a little bit more for those who call 
 
And in this land of hope and glory 
You'd think there's enough for us all 
You'd think there's enough for us all

The public needs to know 
That there may be other people out there 
Who may be planning 
To attack against the United Kingdom 
 
That is why there are a number of 
Other security service operations underway 
There is still a very serious threat of an attack 
The threat level is at severe 
Indicating the high likelihood 
Of an attempted terrorist attack at some stage
