(verse) Who says there has to be a beach to wear a bathing suit? Well i would lie on pebbles lavishly but london's pebbles are dirt. And i will paint with knives and guns to insure sure my art is incorrect and i will sleep on sheets of satin and eat my cigarrettes. (chorus) But england has nothing more to offer me, well everything that i adore came well before 1984. (verse) We are on a single island i hope you see and beyond our lonely country there is only the atlantic sea. So i will burn a fire in westminster using the door of downing street. and when tony rushes out complaining of a draft i'll let him warm his feet. (chorus) But england has nothing more to offer me, well everything that i adore came well before 1984. (middle 8) So goodbye, yeah i wish you all well but i can no longer thrive in england for i think that it is hell x2 (chorus) This country has nothing more to offer me, well everything that i adore came well before 1984. Oh everything that i adore came well before 1984
