I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving

England is mine and it owes me a living

ask me why and I'll spit in your eye

ask me why and I'll spit in your eye

But we cannot cling

to the old dreams anymore

no we cannot cling

to those dreams

Does the body rule the mind

or does the mind rule the body?

I dunno...

Under the iron bridge we kissed

and although I ended up with sore lips

it just wasn't like

the old days anymore

no it wasn't like those days

am I still ill?

am I still ill?

Does the body rule the mind

or does the mind rule the body?

I dunno...

Ask me why and I'll die

oh ask me why and I'll die

and if you must go to work tomorrow

well if I were you I wouldn't bother

for there are brighter sides to life

and I should know because I've seen them

but not very often

Under the iron bridge we kissed

and although I ended up with sore lips

it just wasn't like

the old days anymore

no it wasn't like those days

am I still ill?

am I still ill?
