Lyrics

[00:01.178] Baby Britain feels the best
[00:04.865] Floating over a sea of vodka
[00:08.984] Separated from the rest
[00:12.914] Fights problems with bigger problems
[00:17.15] Sees the ocean fall and rise
[00:20.943] Counts the waves that
[00:22.543] somehow didn't hit her
[00:25.43] Water pourning from her eyes
[00:29.62] Alcohol again very bitter
[00:32.462] For someone half as smart
[00:36.59] you'd be a work of art
[00:40.448] You put yourself apart
[00:45.71] And I can't help until you start
[00:49.78] We knocked another couple back
[00:53.188] The dead soldiers lined
[00:55.488] up on the table
[00:57.138] Still prepared for an attack
[01:00.996] They didn't know they'd
[01:02.397] been disabled
[01:05.211] Felt a wave a rush of blood
[01:09.12] You won't be happy 'til
[01:11.213] the bottle's broken
[01:13.263] You're out swimming in the flood
[01:16.888] You kept back you kept unspoken
[01:20.385] For someone half as smart
[01:24.129] you'd be a work of art
[01:28.636] You put yourself apart
[01:33.287] And I can't help you until you start
[01:37.488] You've got a look in your eye
[01:39.453] when you're saying goodbye
[01:41.356] Like you want to say hi
[02:01.584] The light was on but it was dim
[02:05.475] Revolver's been turned over
[02:09.567] And now it's ready once again
[02:13.360] The radio is playing Crimson
[02:16.11] and Clover
[02:17.712] London Bridge is safe and sound
[02:21.362] No matter what you keep repeating
[02:25.665] Nothing's gonna drag me down
[02:29.717] To a death that's not worth cheating
[02:32.677] For someone half as smart
[02:36.627] you'd be a work of art
[02:40.977] You put yourself apart
[02:45.572] And I can't help until you start
[02:48.916] For someone half as smart
[02:52.741] you'd be a work of art
[02:57.92] You put yourself apart
[03:02.45] Elliott Smith -Baby Britain
