The Playing Fields Of England by These Guitars Say Sorry critiques the glorification of war and questions the romanticized ideals of heroism often associated with it. The song emphasizes the sacrifices made by ordinary soldiers and challenges the notion that war is something to be celebrated or revered.  These Guitars Say Sorry's  folk-inspired songwriting style, is accompanied by his percussive acoustic guitar playing acting as the perfect backdrop for the song's post punk lyrics.

On the playing fields of England
There are battles won and lost
I have seen them fought so many times I had almost forgot
That it's a pleasure and an honor as you go out to die
I'd do it all a thousand times for the old school tie

So hold your head up high
So I can see you're full of pride
As you lay down your life
On the playing fields of England

Past the ranks of blue and gray
Into the old school hall
You can read the roll of honor or heed the distant call
Like your father before you, you'll tread a distant land
You didn't learn the first time, so now you're going back

I look in your eyes and I can see the pain
And then you ask me who's to blame
I told you it was much more than a game
On the playing fields of England

Nobody thought to question why you went to die
Bravely put on the uniform and joined the end of the line
But age brings with it wisdom, but you'll never grow old to know
On the playing fields of England, you will reap what you have sown

As they fly your body homeward, draped in your country's flag
Past lines of grieving relatives who know you're never coming back
On the playing fields of England was where you chose to play
But a generation of you went marching to the grave

As you lie facing the sky, I can only wonder why
You believed a pack of lies about the playing fields of England
The playing fields of England

Closed till further notice
The medicine man is gone, long gone 
Thought i wouldnt notice 
But wreckless weekends make me feel its all gone wrong

Young age with old skin 
The streets are made of needles n pins 
Set the stage for servered limbs 
A beast once a beauty made it far today
There she lay slain 
Doused in blood n rain
A beast once a beauty made it far today .

Head first diving in the wastleand
My heard bursts searchin for the reminents 
Fed up it hurts blood all over my hands 
My loves gone clueless how im even standin 


Fell from every single livin thing 
Now im just a puppet on a string 
Gazin up at where i used to sing 
Everyone is careless in this town gone wrong 

Now im strung out, battered and abused 
The only way to keep me cruising on 
With nuthin to gain nuthin left to lose  
Is throw me out n kill the will that keeps me strong 

Head first diving in the wastleand
My head bursts searchin for the reminents 
Fed up it hurts blood all over my hands 
My loves gone clueless how im even standi

Diving in the wasteland (acoustic)
