Elliott Smith

Baby britain feels the best floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems with bigger problems
Sees the ocean fall and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didnt hit her
Water pouring from her eyes
Alcoholic and very bitter
For someone half as smart youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help until you start
We knocked another couple back
The dead soldiers lined up on the table
Still prepared for an attack
They didnt know theyd been disabled
Felt a wave a rush of blood
You wont be happy til the bottles broken
And youre out swimming in the flood
You kept back you kept unspoken
For someone half as smart youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help until you start
You got a look in your eye
When youre saying goodbye
Like you wanna say hi
The light was on but it was dim
Revolvers been turned over
And now its ready once again
The radio was playing crimson and clover
London bridge is safe and sound
No matter what you keep repeating
Nothings gonna drag me down
To a death thats not worth cheating
For someone half as smart youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I cant help until you start
For someone half as smart youd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
