Verse 1: Beautiful blue case, beautiful lies, beautiful England.
Close to a kindness, forever there, always there.
Pre 1: If you’re wrong you’ll survive, at least you’ll be doing something right.
Help me to help you, once was a worm now just misery
Verse 2: Bad is easy to, believe briefly, but not really.
Worth being tired for, and it was, and I was.
Pre 2: Messages aren’t so clear, but I’m still here, and can still hear.
Work and pleasure don’t mix, questioning if all this even matters, even matters
Bridge: oo
Verse 3: Beautiful blue case, beautiful lies, beautiful England.
Worth being tired for, and it was, and I was.
Chorus 3: If you’re wrong you’ll survive, at least you’ll be doing something right.
Help me to help you, once was a worm now just misery
Messages aren’t so clear, but I’m still here, and can still hear.
Work and pleasure don’t mix, questioning if all this even matters…
