Xtc - When We Get To England lyrics

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
