OLD ENGLAND by WATERBOYS.

COMPLETE THE GAPS



Man-------on a yellow sky
And the rain turns to rust in his -----
Rumours of his--------are lies
Old england -------

His clothes are ------ shade of -----
And his ancient shoes------ through
He steals from me and he lies to you
Old england is dying

Still he sings an empires song
And he keeps his navy ----
And he sticks his -------where it ill belongs
Old england is dying

You’re ------- what makes me sigh now
What it is makes me shudder so
Well
I just ----- in the wind
And I’m numb from the pummeling of the ------
That falls from high in yellow -----

Where the time stained of england ----
Where the homes are warm and the mothers sigh
Where comedians-----and babies -----
Where criminals are televised -------- fraternize
---------- are dignified and everyone is civilised
And children stare with heroin eyes
Old england!

Evening has -------
The swans are singing
The last of sundays-----is ringing
The ---- in the trees is sighing
And old england is dying
