Baby Britain by Elliot Smith

Baby Britain feels the best
Floating (1)________ a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights (2)________________ (3)________ bigger problems
Sees the ocean (4)________ and rise
Counts the (5)__________ that somehow didn't hit her
Water pourning from her eyes
Alcohol again, very bitter
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't (6)________ until you start
We (7)______________ another couple back
The dead soldiers lined up on the table
Still prepared for an attack
They didn't know they'd been disabled
Felt a wave, a rush of blood
You won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken
You're out swimming in the flood
You kept back, you kept unspoken
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help you until you start
You've got a look in your eye when you're saying goodbye
Like you want to say hi

The (8)__________ was on but it was dim
Revolver's been turned over
And now it's ready once again
The (9)__________ is playing Crimson and Clover
London Bridge is safe and sound
No (10)____________ what you keep repeating
Nothing's gonna drag me down
To a death that's not worth cheating
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help until you start
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
