Biography:
Oi! band started in 1976. The group formed in London's East End, originally as a pub rock combo in the vein of Dr. Feelgood. Four of the members -- vocalist Colin McFaull, guitarist Mick Beaufoy, bassist Steve Burgess, and drummer Steve Bruce -- had been schoolmates since age 11, and had been playing together in cover bands three years prior. They were joined by rhythm guitarist Gary Lammin (Burgess' cousin), and soon began playing the Bridgehouse Pub in Canning Town on a regular basis.

Cock Sparrer - England Belongs To Me
[Intro]
A A A D D A A A A E E
[Verse]
D E A
Years of being told you ain't as good as us
Join the line, sign your name
And they all said that our country's going bust
But no-one's fooling us again
[Chorus]
D E A
England belongs to me
A nation's pride the dirty water on the rivers
D E C# B A
No one can take away our memory
E D E A
Oh Oh, England belongs to me
[Interlude] A A D D A A A A E E
[Verse]
D E A
We'll show the world that the boys are back to stay
And you all know what we can do
Heads held high, fighting all the way
For the red, white, and blue
[Chorus]
D E A
England belongs to me
A nation's pride the dirty water on the rivers
D E C# B A
No one can take away our memory
E D E A
Oh Oh, England belongs to me
