Hello England I'm still here,
can't you hear me call your name,
I'm the best you'll ever have,
I don't want to play this game.
And in the future when I'm gone,
You'll be smothered in the shame,
of a love you never had,
I don't want to play this game anymore.
When I was young I had the spirit of an ice mountain tiger,
it seems like those days are gone,
I'm just as cold but not as bold though I'm a natural survivor,
carry on.
With all my skill, I'll take the kill and stick my culture deep inside her,
with a note saying who it's from,
And then I'll leave with no reprieve just like a dirty overnighter,
I'll move on.
Hello England I'm still here,
can't you hear me call your name,
I'm the best you'll ever have,
I just don't want to play this game.
And in the future when I'm gone,
You'll be smothered in the shame,
of a love you never had,
I just don't want to play this game anymore.
You cheat every single day,
moving me from my place,
You don't take my breath away,
my lungs get fuller
by the english day,
Hello England I'm still here,
can't you hear me call your name,
I'm the best you'll ever have,
I just don't want to play this game.
And in the future when I'm gone,
You'll be smothered in the shame,
of a love you never had,
I just don't want to play this game anymore.
