This song (my lyrics to Per’s vocal line) is about how England has changed in my lifetime. I’m not sure how we were seen before – polite, shy, animal-loving chinless wonders? Better than being the yobs of Europe as we are now. I think we need to be something in between. Yeah, check it out (that’s me pretending to be tough).

Thank you, Per. You’re a dream to work with.

PLEASE DON’T BE SHY

When I was a young girl, we were sober and staid
Didn’t get pissed every Friday and forget whom we’d laid.
Or stagger round in a daze, soiled and drunk
Now we’re thick and aggressive and England is sunk.

But it used to be ……

Don’t hog the limelight, be good as gold
Listen to grown-ups and do as you’re told
Respect others’ feelings but hide yours away
Be modest and quiet, you’ll be happy one day.

Turns out that’s crap ‘cause if you follow that code
You’ll get pushed out of life to the side of the road
Respect others’ feelings but aim at the sky
There’s no need for violence but please don’t be shy.

Remember your manners but stay true to yourself
Know your own worth, don’t get left on the shelf
Have a good time but watch where you lie
Don’t spread it around but please don’t be shy.
