[00:10.35]Written by：Mike Scott
[00:20.70]Man looks up on a yellow sky
[00:25.50]
[00:31.50]And the rain turns to rust in his eye
[00:34.67]
[00:40.28]Rumors of his health are lies
[00:44.32]
[00:46.70]Old England is dying
[00:50.06]
[00:59.05]His clothes are a dirty shade of blue
[01:03.19]
[01:09.68]And his ancient shoes worn through
[01:12.65]
[01:17.99]He steals from me and he lies to you old England is dying
[01:29.22]
[01:37.26]Still he sings an empire song
[01:40.94]
[01:46.64]Still he keeps his navy strong
[01:50.36]
[01:55.67]And he sticks his flag where it ill belongs old England is dying
[02:06.80]
[02:25.16]You're asking what makes me sigh now
[02:28.94]
[02:34.52]What it is makes me shudder so well
[02:43.16]I just freeze in the wind
[02:45.61]
[02:46.37]And I'm Numb from the pummelin' of the snow
[02:49.41]
[02:52.42]That falls from high in yellow skies
[02:55.94]
[03:01.93]Where the well loved flag of England flies
[03:06.39]
[03:11.46]Where homes are warm and mothers sigh
[03:15.76]
[03:20.94]Where comedians laugh and babies cry
[03:25.20]
[03:29.33]Where criminals are televised politicians fraternize
[03:33.59]
[03:34.28]Journalists are dignified and everyone is civilized
[03:38.69]And children stare with h****n eyes h****n eyes h****n eyes
[03:47.61]Old England Old England
[04:01.09]
[04:05.49]Old England is dying dying
[04:22.02]
[04:44.86]Evening has fallen
[04:46.97]The swans are singing
[04:49.66]
[04:50.41]The last of Sunday's bells is ringing
[04:53.26]
[04:55.13]The wind in the trees is sighing
[04:58.16]
[05:01.64]And old England is dying
