Del Amitri - Close Your Eyes & Think of England lyrics

Day by day, we're winnowing away
At the kind of world the
Heathens had their eyes on
Step by step, the sun is going to set
On the waves that sully the horizon

So close your eyes and think of England
That boat afloat on the ocean
Sets my spine a-tingling
So let the boys brigade be singing
Close your eyes, close your eyes

Blow by blow, there's gonna be a show
We're gonna teach the goons the
Who is who of history
Deal by dеal, we'll crush them on a wheel
Of progress and manifеst destiny

So close your eyes and think of England
That boat afloat on the ocean
With teh chains of state a-jingling
And at the sight of intermingling
Close your eyes, close your eyes

Close the door behind you I feel kinda blue
I guess I miss the time
The scapegoat was always someone new
So step up to the camera, you

And close your eyes and think of England
That boat afloat all alone on
The ocean is sinking
And a telephone is ringing
The coastguard have been drinking
Nobody had an inkling
Cos they closed their eyes close your eyes
Close your eyes close your eyes
