Elliott Smith – Baby Britain Lyrics  Share

From Elliott Smith's album: XO

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
[ Baby Britain lyrics from

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
