Baby Britain by Elliot Smith

Baby Britain feels the best
Floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems with bigger problems
Sees the ocean (1)________ and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her

You put yourself apart
And I can't help you until you start
You've got a look in your eye when you're saying goodbye

And now it's ready once again
The radio is playing Crimson and Clover
London Bridge is safe and sound
No matter (7)________ you keep repeating
Nothing's gonna (8)________ me down
To a death that's not worth cheating
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't (9)________ until you start
For someone half as smart
You'd be a (10)________ of art
You put yourself apart
