Old England Lyrics - This Is The Sea - Waterboys

A man looks up on a yellow sky 

and the rain turns to rust in his eye 

rumours of his health are lies 

old england is dying 

 

his clothes are dirty shade of blue 

and his ancient shoes worn through 

he steals from me and he lies to you 

old england is dying 

 

still he sings an empires song 

and still he keeps his beliefs strong 

and he sticks his flag where it all belongs 

old england is dying

you're asking what makes me sigh now 

what it is makes me shudder so 

well 

I just FREEZE in the wind 

and I'm numb from the pummeling of the snow 

that falls from high in yellow skies 

where the well loved flag of england flies 

Where the homes are warm and the mothers sigh 

where comedians laugh and babies cry 

where criminals are televised politicians fraternized 

journalists are dignified and everyone is civilised 

and children stare with heroin eyes, heroin eyes, heroin eyes 

Old England!

evening has fallen 

the swans are singing 

the last of Sundays bells is ringing 

the wind in the trees is sighing 

and old england is dying
