Death of a Nation — текст песни (Ian Hunter)

(Ian Hunter)

I was having a drink with Prince Charles and the Queen
When Winston Churchill stepped into my dream
His head it was heavy, his voice was shakin`
He said, "Look what they`ve done - it`s the death of a Nation"

I followed his shadow right out of the bar
And we talked all night `neath the light of the stars
He said, "This used to be a cradle of civilization
Now look what they`ve done - it`s the death of a Nation"

Everything`s illusion now, nothing`s what it seems
Money isn`t everything, when you`re turning your back on a dream
I held you together when you were breakin`
You can pull down the flags- it`s the death of a Nation

Don`t say goodbye, don`t say goodbye,
`N we`ll never die, no we`ll never die
Don`t say goodbye, don`t say goodbye,
`N we`ll never die, no we will never die

From the bottom of this ancient heart
I hate to see you falling apart
Cos I love you still, I love you still, I love you still

You`ve been getting away with it far too long
Your promises ain`t worth the paper they`re printed on
I had a love, but that love`s been forsaken
Look what they`ve done, it`s the death of a Nation.

Don`t say goodbye, don`t say goodbye,
`N we`ll never die, no we`ll never die
Don`t say goodbye, don`t say goodbye,
`N we`ll never die, no we will never die

Don`t say goodbye, don`t say goodbye,
`N I`ll never die, no I will never die
Don`t say goodbye, don`t say goodbye,
`N I`ll never die, no I will never die
