England Lyrics

I live and die through England
Through England
It leaves a sadness
Remedies never were within my reach
I cannot go on as I am

Withered vine reaching
From the country that I love
England, you leave a taste
A bitter one

I have searched for your springs
But people, they stagnate with time
Like water, like air
To you, England, I cling
Undaunted, never-failing
Love for you, England

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“England” is a love letter to Harvey’s home country. The song’s beauty lies partially in its dissonance, in part created by the underlying Said El Kurdi sample.
