United Kingdom Lyrics - American Music Club

Child keeps its toys hidden away 

Till it wants to break them 

Take your share and go away 

Make sure you get the last word 

Sit back out of harm's reach 

Watch the little cup of poison 

Chasing its own tail around and around 

Until it's exhausted at its wits end 

United Kingdom 

I try my best I wait for you to nail me 

Now I try and never do anything they tell me 

'Cause waiting about an inch under human nature 

Tragedies and comedies and a touching sense of failure 

United Kingdom 

When you held me in your arms 

At the limits of your patience 

I knew I'd always lose 

Every scene of violence 

When you held me in your arms 

Why didn't you want me? 

When you held me in your arms 

Why didn't you touch me? 

Well, I used to know how to slip through your blind spot 

And now I just watch myself set the alarms off 

I'm happier now in my shame 

And don't look to you for anything 

United Kingdom
