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 didnt hit her
Water pourning from her eyes
Alcohol again very bitter
For someone half as smart
youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help until you start
We knocked another couple back
The dead soldiers lined
up on the table
Still prepared for an attack
They didnt know theyd
been disabled
Felt a wave a rush of blood
You wont be happy til
the bottles broken
Youre out swimming in the flood
You kept back you kept unspoken
For someone half as smart
youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help you until you start
Youve got a look in your eye
when youre saying goodbye
Like you want to say hi
The light was on but it was dim
Revolvers been turned over
And now its ready once again
The radio is playing Crimson
and Clover
London Bridge is safe and sound
No matter what you keep repeating
Nothings gonna drag me down
To a death thats not worth cheating
For someone half as smart
youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help until you start
For someone half as smart
youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
Elliott Smith -Baby Britain
