Who says there has to a beach to wear a bathing suit?
Well I would lie on pebbles lavishly but London's pebbles are dirt,
And I will paint with knives and guns to ensure that my art is incorrect,
And I would sleep on sheets of satin and eat my cigarettes
Well England has nothing more to offer me,
Everything that I adore came well before 1984
We are on a single island I hope you see,
And beyond our lonely country there is only the Atlantic sea,
So I will burn a fire in Westminster using the door of Downing Street,
And When Tony rushes out complaining of a draught I'll let him warm his feet
Well England has nothing more to offer me,
And everything that I adore came well before 1984
So goodbye (goodbye),
Well I wish you all well,
Well I can no longer thrive in England for I think that it is hell,
So goodbye (goodbye),
Well I wish you all well,
Well I can no longer thrive in England for I think that it is hell
This country has nothing more to offer me,
Oh everything that I adore came well before 1984,
Yes everything that I adore came well before 1984
