All Right
Man The Echo Lyrics

A flat tyre, a dead mobile phone, I was so very far away from home
I was stranded with no way of communicating, miles away from where I belonged.

I told myself it would be all right
In an effort to calm myself down, I kept repeating that everything would be okay.

I took a walk down a secluded road
I decided to explore my surroundings.

Eventually I found a pub and the relief was palpable- I′m all right
I found a place to relax and feel comfortable.

The bar fell silent when I walked in I said:
Everyone suddenly stopped talking when I entered and I spoke up.

"A glass of tonic please, and could you top it up with gin?"
I ordered a drink to help me unwind.

The barman didn't smile he just stared for a while
The bartender looked at me without expression.

I saw how dirty his hands were when he squeezed in my lime
I noticed how unsanitary his hands appeared when he added lime to my drink.

All right
But despite that, I felt okay.

I sat perched on an uneven stool
I tried to sit as comfortably as possible on a wobbly stool.

Trying nervously to keep my cool
Despite being nervous, I tried to remain calm.

As I was searching for my light, I--
While looking for something, I...

Well I was struck by an advertisment
I was caught off guard by an advertisement.

Pinned up by the local constituent
It was put up by someone in the community.

I was realised this place was all right
It dawned on me that the location was not so bad after all.

My heart beat heavy as I took in my surroundings
I felt a heavy pounding in my chest as I looked around.

I′ve never seen so many little taxidermal owls
There were an overwhelming amount of preserved owl specimens.

Well there was pro-thought Suns
The establishment had politically charged newspapers.

And there are Union Jack bunting
Decorations of British patriotism were strung up.

And the papers on the bar were only useful for one thing
The newspapers on the counter had only one purpose.

They were all right
But, once again, I felt alright.

I set off 'cause I was terrified
I hurriedly left because I was scared.

But as soon as I had gone outside I sensed that something wasn't right
I quickly realized that things were not as they seemed.

I felt watched; I sensed eyes on me
I felt as though somebody was following me.

I saw a Cleggster behind a tree and started running for my life
I saw somebody that made me fear for myself and began to sprint away.

Well I tripped on something and I fell to the ground and before I could get up I realised I was surrounded
I tripped and was knocked to the ground by who knows what and it happened so fast that I was quickly surrounded by people.

I tried to catch my breath but I was too dumbfounded by the gang of former pri′s with their engines growling
I was too shocked to be able to breathe or think clearly as I was surrounded by an intimidating group of tough guys.

All right
But, again, I felt okay for some reason.

Hey!

I woke up shackled to an antique chair
The next thing I knew, I was bound to an old-fashioned chair.

There was a vicar and a policeman and a dog sat there
A priest, an officer, and a dog were all there.

They said:
They addressed me and said...

"The bureaucrat opposal say we′ve gotta release you, just don't come here again you little Guardianista"
The people who controlled the area told me that they had to let me go but that I was unwelcome to return and that I had a certain political persuasion, which they used as an insult.

All right
But, yet again, I still felt alright.

All right
And once more, I still felt okay.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
