England i/ˈɪŋɡlənd/ is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west; the Irish Sea is to the north west, the Celtic Sea to the south west, while the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south separate it from continental Europe. Most of England comprises the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain in the North Atlantic. The country also includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight.
The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period, but it takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in AD 927, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world. The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law—the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world—developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations. The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming its society into the world's first industrialised nation. England's Royal Society laid the foundations of modern experimental science.

I’ve got my twenty arms ready to go but I don’t know If my head is gonna
Blow after this show
I feel like they are staring at my back like they would know
This is just to late for someone like me to grow
Everybody knows it’s just to late for me to grow
Everybody knows it’s just to late for someone like me to grow
I say that this is no way to go but they don’t know
How my heart is gonna blow if they don’t show
And I pray in the name of that someone or something I’ve never seen
Everybody knows it’s just to late for me to grow
Everybody knows it’s just to late for someone like me to grow
