Let England Shake

The West's asleep, let England shake,

Weighted down with silent dead.

I fear our blood won't rise again.

Won't rise again.



England's dancing days are done.

Another day, Bobby, for you to come

Home and tell me indifference is won, won, won.



Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.

Pack up your troubles, let's head out

To the fountain of death and splash about,

Swim back and forth, back, back and laugh out loud



Until the day is ending,

And the birds are silent,

And the insects are courting,

By the shores heavy stones are falling.



Smile, smile Bobby, with your lovely mouth.

Pack up your troubles and let's head out

To the fountain of death and splash about,

Swim back and forth, back, back and laugh out loud.
