0:01Baby Britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka
0:09Separated from the rest
0:13Fights problems with bigger problems
0:17Sees the ocean fall and rise
0:20Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
0:24Water pouring from her eyes
0:28Alcoholic and very bitter
0:32For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art
0:40You put yourself apart
0:45And I can't help until you start
0:49We knocked another couple back
0:53The dead soldiers lined up on the table
0:57Still prepared for an attack
1:01They didn't know they'd been disabled
1:05Felt a wave a rush of blood
1:09You won't be happy' til the bottle's broken
1:13And you're out swimming in the flood
1:17You kept back you kept unspoken
1:21For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art
1:28You put yourself apart
1:33And I can't help until you start
1:37You got a look in your eye
1:39When you're saying goodbye
1:41Like you wanna say hi
2:01The light was on but it was dim
2:05Revolver's been turned over
2:09And now it's ready once again
2:13The radio was playing crimson and clover
2:17London bridge is safe and sound
2:21No matter what you keep repeating
2:25Nothing's gonna drag me down
2:29To a death that's not worth cheating
2:32For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art
2:41You put yourself apart
2:45And I can't help until you start
2:49For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art
2:57You put yourself apart
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 And I can't help until you start For someone half as smart you'd be a work of art You put yourself apart
