Whatever Happened To 'Cool Britannia'?

Well, as the knives finally flash in the shadows, Gordon Brown – 'The Prince of Darkness' - takes over from Tony Blair. What a peculiar political life the people of the United Kingdom lead.

If you watch cable TV enough, you will eventually come across a weird tourism promotional for 'Visit the UK'. Here are the words from Supergrass, a 1990s pop group.

I know a place where the sun hits the sky,
Everything changes and blows out the night,
Everyone knows why my tongue can be tied,
'cos I want to live where the sun meets the sky,

I am a doctor, I'll be your doctor,
I'm on my way, you won't come down today,
Live for the right things, be with the right ones,
Or they'll hold you down, they'll turn your world around,

Well, I just don't know why the sun hits the sky,
Everyone changed as they turned out the light,
Living is easy with time on my side,
'cos I want to live where the sun meets the sky,

I am a doctor, I'll be your doctor,
I'm on my way, you won't come down today,
Live for the right things, be with the right ones,
Or they'll hold you down, they'll turn your world around,

I am a doctor, I'll be your doctor,
I'm on my way, you won't come down today,
Live for the right things, be with the right ones,
Or they'll hold you down, they'll turn your world around...

Strange, but satisfying. A bit like this. Especially this part.
