Baby Britain lyrics

baby Britain feels the bestfloating over a sea of vodka
separated from the rest
fights problems with bigger problems
sees the ocean fall and rise
counts the waves that somehow didn`t hit her
water pouring from her eyes
alcoholic and very bitter

for someone half as smartyou`d be a work of art
you put yourself apart
and I can`t help until you start

we knocked another couple back
the dead soldiers lined up on the table
still prepared for an attack
they didn`t know they`d been disabled
felt a wave, a rush of blood
you won`t be happy `til the bottle`s broken
and you`re out swimming in the flood
you kept back you kept unspoken

for someone half as smartyou`d be a work of art
you put yourself apart
and I can`t help until you start

you got a look in your eye
when you`re saying goodbye
like you wanna say hi

the light was on but it was dim
revolver`s been turned over
and now it`s ready once again
the radio was playing
