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 fall and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
Water (1)________________ (2)________ her eyes
Alcohol again, very bitter
For someone (3)________ as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help until you start
We knocked another couple back
The dead soldiers (4)__________ up on the table
Still prepared for an attack
They didn't know they'd been disabled
Felt a wave, a rush of blood
You won't be happy 'til the bottle's broken
You're out swimming in the flood
You kept back, you (5)________ unspoken
For someone (6)________ as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help you until you start
You've got a look in your eye (7)________ you're saying goodbye
Like you want to say hi

The light was on but it was dim
Revolver's (8)________ turned over
And now it's ready once again
The radio is playing Crimson and Clover
London Bridge is safe and sound
No matter (9)________ you keep repeating
Nothing's gonna drag 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 help until you start
For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
