Baby Britain by Elliot Smith

Baby Britain feels the best

They didn't know they'd (4)________ disabled
Felt a wave, a (5)________ of blood
You won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken
You're out swimming in the flood
You kept back, you (6)________ unspoken
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart

For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help until you start
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
