North Atlantic Drift Lyrics - Ocean Colour Scene

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

It's a cultural shift, it's the North Atlantic drift 

Americana and a rule Britannia 

And the moon, yes, we own that too 

And where the Euphrates meets the other river 

Is now the home of the devil and the liar 

And the pyre we plan to make is just the drift leaving its wake, ah 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

And the films you want to watch and the films you want to make 

And the kids, like lost angels dressed in black sensations 

And the shift won't shake and the drift won't brake 

With billions of diamonds growing like olives and the drift holds the coffers 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns 

Meanwhile Rome burns
