There was really nothing quite like "England Made Me" when it appeared in 1999. Black Box Recorder consists of Sarah Nixey, John Moore, and Luke Haines formerly known for his time with The Autuers. While Black Box Recorder did retain the same highly literate quality The Autuers bought to their songs, they dove deeper into the coated and subtle nuances of English life. The mix of lovely pop tunes with the ice cold pragmatism of Haines and Moore's lyrics filtered through Sarah Nixey's whispery vocals has the effect of poison....that's been sweetened. "England Made Me" could pass through the ears as a whisper in the background, or it could pull on your heart strings so heavily that it melts everything around it. As they touch on everything from childhood depression to kidnap and murder, they achieved a mix of social commentary and melodic pop accessibility that would only be bettered by their next album.

Song "England Made Me"
I trapped a spider underneath the glass
I kept it for a week to see how long he last
He stared right back of me
He thought that he could win
We played the waiting game
He thought that I give in

England made me
England made me

I had a dream last night, that I was drunk
I killed the stranger, and left him in a trunk
In Brighton railway station
It was an unsolved case
A famous murder mystery
People love mystery

England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me

I need my privacy, I lead a secret life
Sleep with the enemy, and betray both sides
I travelled all my life, but never got away
From the killing jar, and it got me sick

England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
England made me
