LYRICS
I’m from the East Midlands
It’s a very flat land
Like the county Rutland
The smallest one in England
Melton Mombray Pie with cheese on
Red Leicester and Stilton
Just to get our freak on
Drink wine from skulls like Byron
East Midlander - there can only be one!
John:
No you need to think more local!
Susi:
OK, let’s go hyperlocal
I’m from a village called Burton Joyce
By the River Trent, it’s very nice
There’s a Co-op and a library
Hanging baskets, keep Britain tidy
Local star the guy from Gavin and Stacey
He borrowed a book from me in 93
But he hasn’t given it back to me …yet
But I will seek him out
John:
Midlanders, let me hear you roar!
Urbs in rure!
Midlander!
There can only be one!
Susi:
That was a bit extreme!
John:
Is that the best the East Midlands have got?
Susi:
Yes
John:
Let’s get some proper West Midlands revolution
I´m from Solihull, West Midlands
It´s a very flat land
Second city Birmingham
Local pride there is none
Speech the creatures doth mock
Shakespeare came from our flock
JRR Tolkein
Lord of the Bullring
West Midlander, there can only be one
Solihull, suburban dream
A modern place in England's green
That's why our motto will always be
Urbs in rure, town in the country
Where's the British pride for us?
Don't hide your accent, let them mock 'cos
Everywhere's the same anyway
Banality in the UK
But this is where we have our say
Both:
Midlander, let me hear you roar!
Urbs in rure!
Midlander!
There can only be one!
We’re an exotic blend of East meets West
Susi: (East meets West Midlands)
Both: Self deprecation, flat dialects
John(sounding like Brian Blessed): All hail the kingdom of Mercia!
Susi ….(The Midlands!)
John:
Robin Hood - Midlander!
Susi: (historians think he was from Kent)
John:
Brian Clough - Midlander!
Susi: (he was from Middlesborough)
Susi: Cat Deeley
John: Midlander!
Susi: Barbara Cartland
John: Midlander!
Susi: John Deacon!
John: Midlander!
Both: Let me hear you roar!
Susi: Su Pollard!
John: Midlander!
Susi: The Elephant Man!
John: Midlander!
Susi: Stewart Lee!
John: Midlander!
Both: Let me hear you roar!
Susi: Felicity Kendal!
John: Midlander!
Both:
Urbs in rure!
Midlander!
There can only be one!
Midlander!
There can only be Brum!

Hello John, well done you and Susi. Thank goodness there is only one!

[@JohnCallaghanMusic]

Only one? The world needs more John Callaghans! :)

[@ninjagoggles]

...yeh, i don't get it. i mean, There Can Be Only One... yet there are 2 of you. wtf?

[@JohnCallaghanMusic]

The conceit is that it's meant to be like the final battle in Highlander but it's the UK so there's nothing really worth fighting over. However, R2D2 (Kenny Baker) really was from Birmingham. Mind you, so was Neville Chamberlain. I'm not sure what point I'm making here.

@@JohnCallaghanMusic although the Highlands are in the UK. ;-)

@@MontytheHorse True, true... and like in the film, they don't like having their heads cut off (not that I've tried it).
