The Macc Lads - Englands Glory

Shut up and listen, I'm going to tell thee a story

About my trip down South with my box of England's Glory

I took some numbies and a Bodkan, to make me feel at home

I'm going down to London to dig up paving stones

Got to London, half past six, I wished I'd never come,

There's poofs down there drinking halves of lager

Without notes from their mums

No gravy at the chippy, and what's a saveloy?

Every pub was full of foreigners and bottom boys.

If I live to be forty, I'll never understand

Why they're open til eleven down there

To serve beer that's second hand

Dialing 0625 on the telephone, I said:

'Pull us a pint of bitter, Ray, tonight I'm coming home.'

We are all just simple lads, never asked for much,

Just twenty pints of a Friday night and a wife at home to fuck.

N.B.- 'Numbies' - Players No6/ Embassy No1

'Bodkan' - Large can containing 4 pints of Boddington's bitter

'England's Glory' - Brand of matches only sold in the North (at the time)

'Mother's note'- An ancient custom in Macclesfield that a note signed by a parent or guardian must be

proferred before any male can be served with a half-pint.

N.B.- Prior to 1989, pubs in England closed at 10-30pm during the week. However, in London pubs shut at 11pm-

as gay Southerners couldn't drink as fast as hard Northerners.
