Baby Britain by Elliot Smith

Baby Britain feels the best
Floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems (1)________ bigger problems
Sees the ocean fall and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
Water pourning (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 (4)________ until you start
We knocked another couple back
The dead soldiers (5)__________ 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 (6)________ back, you kept unspoken
For someone half 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 when you're saying goodbye
Like you want to say hi

The light was on but it was dim
Revolver's been (7)____________ over
And now it's ready once again
The radio is playing Crimson and Clover
London Bridge is safe and sound
No matter what you (8)________ 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 (9)________________ 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
