I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
Just had to get to merry old England
Crisp packets and puddles on the ground
Welcome to merry old England
Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know you've been around
Just had to get to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England?
With her chalk cliffs, once white, they're greying in the sodium light, oh
My, my, my, my congrats on staying alive
Hope they don't catch you tonight

Did they give you everything that you dreamed of?
A B&B and vouchers for three square
Is it everything that you dreamed of?

They've got to get to Merry Old England
And Syrians, Iraqis, and Ukrainians
Oh, how you finding merry old England?
With her chalk cliffs, once white, they're greying in the sodium light, oh
My, my, my, my, congrats on staying alive
Hope they don't catch you tonight
I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
Welcome to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England? Yeah
I know, I know, I know you came the long way 'round
You had to get to merry old England
I've seen you on the swings and on the merry-go-round
How you finding merry old England?
Oh, with your chalk cliffs, once white, they're greying in the sodium light
Oh my, my, my, my good luck on staying alive
Hope they don't catch you tonight

The Libertines sono un gruppo musicale inglese di indie rock formatosi a Londra nel 1997. Il nucleo originale era composto da Pete Doherty (voce, chitarra), Carl Barat (chitarra, voce), John Hassall (basso) e Gary Powell (batteria). La band ha raggiunto il successo con l'album d'esordio omonimo del 2002, caratterizzato da un sound energico che mescolava influenze garage rock, punk revival e melodie pop. Tra i brani più noti figurano "Time for Heroes", "Can't Stand Me Now" e "Don't Look Back into the Sun". Dopo una serie di problemi interni e personali, inclusi quelli legati all'alcolismo e alle droghe di Doherty, The Libertines si sono sciolti nel 2005. Nel 2010 la band ha annunciato un reunion con l'uscita dell'album "Anthems for Doomed Youth", seguito da una tournée mondiale. Nel 2014 hanno pubblicato il loro terzo album in studio, "The Libertines". La band è considerata una delle più influenti del movimento indie rock britannico degli anni 2000.
