lyrics

I’m travelling through the UK
I’m having loads of fun
I go from town to town
To sing you all my songs

I just moved from Barcelona
And I guess I’m right on time
Before Brexit kicks in
And the French pull their wine

And from the corner of my eye
I can see a sign saying
Good morning and welcome
to the M25
Good morning and welcome
to the M25

Someone’s briefing me
On migration policy
Saying those strangers take advantage
I ask him, people like me

He says no, you are an expat
And that's something else
But I sure don't feel different
We're all human on all levels

And from the corner of my eye
I can see a sign saying
Roadworks and problems
On the M25
Roadworks and problems
On the M25


Sharing is caring
Don’t fall into the trap
Between the poor and the wealthy
There’s still a widening gap

I have taken up a job
Cut me some slack
For I freed one in Barcelona
I’ve sure given one back

And from the corner of my eye
I can see a sign, saying
We all share this highway
Called the M25
We all share this highway
Called the M25

I’m writing this song
I’m singing behind the wheel
Going 3 miles an hour
You may know how that feels

There's a light in the darkness
And my spirit runs high
Cause a miracle's unfolding
On the M25

And from the corner of my eye
I can see a sign saying
Strawberries in lay-by
On the M25
And from the corner of my eye
I can see a sign saying
Strawberries in lay-by
On the M25
Strawberries in lay-by
On the M25
