When We Get To England Lyrics - Xtc

When we get to england 

Will we know when we've arrived? 

When we get to england 

Will we know if she has died? 

Does the girl with the dogs 

Still live in the big house 

On the corner? 

Are the boys collecting frogs 

Still marching away 

To die in war? 

Like it's all from a dream 

Like it's all from some history book 

Didn't look too hard 

Did I miss something that I should have seen? 

When we get to england 

Will it still be there? 

When we get to england 

Will we know where we've arrived? 

When we get to england 

Will a kiss bring her alive? 

Once a farmer in the field 

Had to grow enough 

To feed his family 

Now they pay him for his yield 

Just to burn it down 

And throw away 

Like it's all from a dream 

Like it's all in a crystal ball 

Did it fall so hard? 

Rest in pieces on a village green 

When we get to england 

Will it still be there? 

When we get to england
