Ancestoral Roots
I am a Taxi Driver in Liverpool
And the first thing people say
When they get in the cab with me
Is
Your not a Scoucer
Are you
Well
I was born in Liverpool
And i live in Liverpool
So why am I not a Scourer
It seems an accent defines
What it means to be Scouse
Born in Liverpool
Grew up in South Africa
Moved back and went to school in Cambridge
Not English enough to English
But not South African enough to be South African
What am I then
Or does it matter
Or is being different just my lot
