Baby Britain Lyrics

Baby Britain fills the bath
Floating over our, sea of archives
Separated form the rest
Fights problems with, bigger problems
Sees the ocean falling right
Counts the waves that somehow, didn't hit her
Water pouring from her eyes
Alcohol again, very bitter
[Chorus]
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You pulled yourself apart
I can't help until
You start

[Verse 2]
We knocked another couple back
Dead soldiers lined up on the table
Still put pepper in its eye
They didn't know they'd been, disabled
I felt a wave, a rush of blood
You won't be happy 'til, the bubbles broken
You're out swimming in the flood
You kept back you kept, unspoken
[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You gotta look in your eye
When you're saying goodbye
Like you want to say hi-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 3]
The light was on, but it was dim
Revolver's been, turned over
And now it's raining once again
The rain, he always playing
Crimson and clover
London bridge is safe and sound
No matter what you do, you
[?]
And nothing's going to drag me down
To a depth that's not worth cheating for

[Chorus]

[Outro]
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You pulled yourself apart
