Have No Roots

Here comes little Johnny Green
Slightly built and tres and clean
Swim his way down any stream
Sat down by the river Ouse
Such a feeling you can lose
So, take a wash where King John lost his
Take a wash where King john lost his jewels
Or a ride to Sandringham
Trespass signs and rusty cans
It's funny how one family owns so much land

And now I'm looking out for something new
'Cause I don't feel part of the life I've been through
And I have no roots
I said, I have no roots

Playing football in the park
Chelsea kit and matching scarf
Dodging fruit bats in the dark
Making plans for a getaway
To sunburnt lands imaginary
Hydrofoils and catch a ferry
A million miles from ordinary

And now I really want to start anew
But I don't feel part of the life I've been through
And I havе no roots
I said, I have no roots

Here comеs Grantly Basham
Fishing rod and hipster thin
There was a time I really loved him
Farewell to my Fenland friends
Flat and boring even then
I won't be taking the Tennyson Road
I won't be taking the Tennyson Road again

And now I'm looking out something new
But I don't feel part of the life I've been through
And I have no roots
I said, I have no roots

And now I'm looking out something new
I don't feel part of the life I've been through
And I have new roots
I said, I have new roots
