Economic downturn you can get a job* |
|
Apologetic parents you can get a job |
|
Sometimes |
|
I'm feeling just like |
|
Cupid with a bow and arrow |
|
And I'm firing it at people who remain too shallow |
|
In the B R |
|
I T I say |
|
British Isles |
|
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild |
|
Terror on the pavement, panic in the street |
|
Tension in the twisted silence of our sheets |
|
Sometimes |
|
I lie awake for hours feeling so synthetic |
|
While my eyes are screaming out for something way more epic |
|
It's the B |
|
R I T I say |
|
British Isles |
|
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild |
|
Terribly bold they try so hard |
|
Never look up to see the stars |
|
In the B R |
|
I T I say |
|
British Isles |
|
Leeds screaming |
|
Bristol torn |
|
Belfast and |
|
Hull forlorn |
|
Oxford dreaming in denial |
|
With all it's gleaming spires |
|
Stoke bleeding |
|
Glasgow yawns |
|
Dundee and |
|
Cardiff mourn |
|
York breaking |
|
Sheffield cries |
|
All fears are multiplied |
|
B R I T I say |
|
British Isles |
|
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild |
|
Terribly bold they try so hard |
|
Never look up to see the stars |
|
In the B R |
|
I T I say |
|
British Isles |
