Baby Britain |
| Baby Britain feels the best |
| Floating 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 smart |
| You’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 smart |
| You’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 «crimson and clover» |
| London bridge is safe and sound |
| No matter what you keep repeating |
| Nothing’s gonna drag me down |
| To a death that’s not worth cheating |
| For someone half as smart |
| You’d be a work of art |
| You put yourself apart |
| I can’t help until you start |
| For someone half as smart |
| You’d be a work of art |
| You put yourself apart |
