Jam, The - English Rose Lyrics






No matter where I roam
I will return to my English rose
For no bonds can ever tempt me from she
I've sailed the seven seas,
Flown the whole blue sky.
But I've returned with haste to where my
Love does lie.
No matter where I go I will come back to my English Rose
For nothing can ever tempt me from she.
I've searched the secret mists -
I've climbed the highest peaks
Caught the wild wind home
To hear her soft voice speak
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds can ever keep me from she.

I've been to ancient worlds
I've scoured the whole universe
And caught the first train home
To be at her side.
No matter where I roam
I will return to my English Rose
For no bonds, nothing and no-one can ever keep me from she

    What's the difference between Nationalism and Patriotism? Is there a difference? Is it a bad thing? Is it a good thing? Only serious answers please, and perhaps no swearing? Or is that too hard for some?

    Paul weller really struck a chord with white working class kids. He understood their fears worries and their aspirations . They just wanted a break . He also understood that it was okay to be proud of your country without being a racist twat . I know I was one of those working class kids ...

    m.... s....

    Nothing wrong with being racist!

    m.... s....

    @Lube if that's the choice some one to make then expect to be socially repelled by most,unless they keep it to themselves of course.

  80. D.... D....

    Where does time go? These Jam songs bring back a lot memories from my 20's.

  81. A.... B....

    That feel when you will never restore the british caliphate and sail the seven seas

    A.... B....

    +Alberto Barbosa What?

  82. A.... B....

    That feel when you will never restore the british caliphate and sail the seven seas

    A.... B....

    Ignore the troll, he's just after a reaction

    A.... B....

    Caliphate? Oh you mean empire! Well, we did away with that word and introduced a new word called 'Commonwealth' it comes with a new concept aswell called democracy, and this allows freedom in which the old colonies stayed tied to the mother countrys apron strings, if not they they stay tethered by the English Language? Hench the influence we have with the yanks? good hey?

  83. J.... B....

    Brilliant.

    J.... B....

    This song isn't given enough credit its amazing!

    J.... B....

    Benjamin Lightfoot It's a good one.

  84. A.... K....

    screw god save the queen or jerusalem this should be the english national anthem

    A.... K....

    +Adam Khan anything but god save the queen I fuckin hate that song

    A.... K....

    I couldn't agree more ?

    A.... K....

    God save the queen is the best national anthem but this would beat it

    A.... K....

    @Connor Alldritt God save the queen is worst national anthem on earth

    A.... K....

    @duffman18 I'm English and I agree with you. I prefer the sex pistols version.

  85. p.... j....

    a beautiful song and it wasn't on the Album sleeve,the brilliant All Mod Cons.

    p.... j....

    They added the song to album after the sleeve was printed and left it as a hidden track

  86. A.... G....

    Great Band Great Track! Masterfuckingpeice.

  87. r.... ....

    One of my best songs by the jam, I can remember hearing it on my old mans lp growing up and I still love it and I'm scottish and am now 34 and still loving the jam. England should have this as there national anthem it's an absolute gem.
