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]
