"Let England Shake" lyrics - PJ HARVEY

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 & tell me indifference has won, won, won.

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, forth,
Back, back, laugh out loud.

Until the day is ending,
And the birds are silent,
And the insects are courting,
And 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, forth,
Back, back, laugh out loud.
