lyrics

1/

I need to get by now

I need to believe in

Now let’s not get angry when talking bout friends and ghosts oh

So shy and retiring

But beautiful with it

I love my darling on and on and on and on and on and on

Oh



Chorus

Everyday my life

Everyday my life croaks

I'm sorry my darling you know I don't mean it.

I know you know me better than most

I sorry my darling you know I don't mean it

My heart is fictitious

Forgive us we're British



2/It's so bloody fraught yeah

To peak as your looks change

Spending my whole life just trapped in a world of miazmal significant pain

It's all about power, mendacious with vigour

We're moving towards a keeping an eye on the weaker than I and then crushing all and then pushing yourself



Chorus



Bridge

Everyday I x 6



3/

My heart is an ocean

That limps like the injured

Our leaders kills children in foreign lands smiling at home they

Complain of the rain.

It's all about power

This state it disgusts me

You seem to believe a move to a basis that courage endangers, the empire continues to flourish believe me.
