England Rolls Away |
| I woke up in an alleyway |
| In Liverpool the ship of fools was sinking |
| As I rose up from the depths |
| I stumbled down the road a ways |
| Found London in a haze of weary violence |
| It is hard to get my rest |
| In looking for the best of her |
| Well I have seen the worst she’s had to offer |
| But there’s nothing I’ll not keep |
| England |
| Blood on the thorn of an English rose |
| I gather belongings, travelling clothes |
| Now slowly drifting out of London Bridge |
| It could be a year |
| It could be ten |
| Until she begs me back again |
| And all my miles are measured in an inch |
| Every fear that’s taken over |
| This wide-eyed waking, rambling rover |
| Has grown within the heart that is my home |
| England! |
| In-ger-land! |
| England rolls away |
