History Of Britain

Death is a bird, it steals ribbons

we only get the heart we're given.

Those were the hands that I felt beneath my clothes

Then you faded into middle distance.

I make a graph of the history of Britain

What has changed will not be different

these lines will never change

You were mine one time but not again.

You say: My Girl, My Girl, You should be sure

These things you dream of are not yours

Wake up and see the planet that you live in.

And I say whats the point in getting on

The earth will turn, we'll both be gone

We're just another moment on the timeline of the History of Britain.

You talk but you still say nothing

I only want to hear my heartbeat stopping

But stay if you don't have anywhere to go I hate to be alone

I'm want fire everytime you light a cigarette

I want love in your eyes I want a rose with ever step

Now you say that you are tired of trying

And I say that I am tired of you.

You say: My girl, my girl you should be sure

these things you want will never be yours

A lady and a lord for every vision

And I say whats the point in getting on

The earth will turn we will soon be gone

We're just another moment on the timeline of the history of Britain.

The mystery you offer me

Will never be solved

I want to jump and take you with me when I fall.

The mystery you give to me

Will never extend

Oh I will jump and take you with me when it ends.

You say: My girl, my girl you should be sure

Your eyes will tell you stories but the world they give is never your decision

And I say Why do you talk to me at all?

We're born and end, we're moved along

We're just another moment

We are the history of Britain.
