The title track from Black Box Recorder’s debut album, “England Made Me” takes its name from a Graham Greene novel about a disreputable Englishman who gets involved with some nasty people in Switzerland.

[Verse 1]
I trapped a spider underneath a glass
I kept it for a week to see how long he'd last
He stared right back at me
He thought that he could win
We played the waiting game
He thought that I'd give in
[Chorus]
England made me
England made me
[Verse 2]
I had a dream last night that I was drunk
I killed a stranger, and left him in a trunk
In Brighton railway station
It was an unsolved case
A famous murder mystery
People love a mystery
[Chorus]
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I need my privacy, I lead a secret life
Sleep with the enemy, then betray both sides
I travelled all my life
But never got away
From the killing jar
And the garden shed
[Chorus]
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
