Baby Britain — текст песни (Elliott Smith)

baby britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka
separated from the rest
fights problems with bigger problems
sees the ocean fall and rise
counts the waves that somehow didn`t hit her
water pouring from her eyes
alcoholic and very bitter
for someone half as smart you`d be a work of art
you put yourself apart
and i can`t help until you start
we knocked another couple back
the dead soldiers lined up on the table
still prepared for an attack
they didn`t know they`d been disabled
felt a wave a rush of blood
you won`t be happy `til the bottle`s broken
and you`re out swimming in the flood
you kept back you kept unspoken
for someone half as smart you`d be a work of art
you put yourself apart
and i can`t help until you start
you got a look in your eye
when you`re saying goodbye
like you wanna say hi
the light was on but it was dim
revolver`s been turned over
and now it`s ready once again
the radio was playing crimson and clover
london bridge is safe and sound
no matter what you keep repeating
nothing`s gonna drag me down
to a death that`s not worth cheating
for someone half as smart you`d be a work of art
you put yourself apart
and i can`t help until you start
for someone half as smart you`d be a work of art
you put yourself apart
