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 pourning from her eyes
Alcohol again, 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
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 you until you start
You´ve got a look in your eye when you´re saying goodbye
Like you want to say hi
The light was on but it was dim
Revolver´s been turned over
And now it´s ready once again
The radio is 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
And I can´t help until you start
For someone half as smart, you´d be a work of art
You put yourself apart
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 pourning from her eyes
Alcohol again, 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
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 you until you start
You´ve got a look in your eye when you´re saying goodbye
Like you want to say hi
The light was on but it was dim
Revolver´s been turned over
And now it´s ready once again
The radio is 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
And I can´t help until you start
For someone half as smart, you´d be a work of art
You put yourself apart
