The Waterboys - Old England[00:00:01]

Edit by：苏笑嫣[00:00:06]

Man looks up on a yellow sky[00:00:20]

And the rain turns to rust in his eye[00:00:31]

Rumors of his health are lies[00:00:40]

Old England is dying[00:00:46]

His clothes are a dirty shade of blue[00:00:59]

And his ancient shoes worn through[00:01:09]

He steals from me and he lies to you old England is dying[00:01:17]

Still he sings an empire song[00:01:37]

Still he keeps his navy strong[00:01:46]

And he sticks his flag where it ill belongs old England is dying[00:01:55]

You're asking what makes me sigh now[00:02:25]

What it is makes me shudder so well[00:02:34]

I just freeze in the wind[00:02:43]

And I'm Numb from the pummelin' of the snow[00:02:46]

That falls from high in yellow skies[00:02:52]

Where the well loved flag of England flies[00:03:01]

Where homes are warm and mothers sigh[00:03:11]

Where comedians laugh and babies cry[00:03:20]

Where criminals are televised politicians fraternize[00:03:29]

Journalists are dignified and everyone is civilized[00:03:34]

And children stare with Heroin eyes Heroin eyes Heroin eyes[00:03:38]

Old England Old England [00:03:47]

Old England is dying dying[00:04:05]

Evening has fallen[00:04:44]

The swans are singing[00:04:46]

The last of Sunday's bells is ringing[00:04:50]

The wind in the trees is sighing[00:04:55]

And old England is dying[00:05:01]
