Sorry, Not Sorry

Sorry, Not Sorry

Jealous, not jealous

Of your greasy pie and chips

Your kebab and all the trimmings

Your mango-scented vape

And your foaming pint of lager

Dripping across the sticky carpet-scape

 

Jealous, not jealous

Of your fortnight in Ibiza

With the other British Bulldogs

Soaking up a foreign sun

Showing off your copper spray-tan

Having noisy drunken fun

 

Jealous, not jealous

Of your hard-as-nails appearance

With your Peaky Blinders hair-cut

The best that Razor King can do

Your complementary facial piercings

And your lurid neck tattoos

 

Jealous, not jealous

Of your cert insider tip-off

From a bloke who works next door

For the three-thirty this afternoon

Not worth an each-way bet

Cash can’t come around too soon

 

Jealous, not jealous

As I stand behind you in the shop

Waiting with your copy of The Sun

Muscled t-shirted dude

Spending more on scratchcards

Than you ever do on food

 

Sorry, not sorry

That I cannot join your world

Glory in your nationalism

Or see things the way you do

You wouldn’t want me anyway

And I sure as hell don’t want you
