Lyrics

The west's asleep, let England shake Weighted down with silent dead I fear our blood won't rise again Won't rise again England's dancing days are done Another day, Bobby, for you to come Home and tell me indifference Is won, won, won Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth Pack up your troubles and let's head out To the fountain of death and splash about Swim back, forth, back, back, laugh out loud Until the day is ending And the birds are silent And the insects are courting And by the shores, heavy stones are falling Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth Pack up your troubles and let's head out To the fountain of death and splash about Swim back, forth, back, back, laugh out loud
