Standard (EADGBE)

I've no fond farewell for you

I've got the shitty beach town blues

You caught me getting in the cab

I waved and then I turned my back

Down by the wreckage of the pier

Saw your darkness and I found my greatest fear

The Mighty Whale and Abraham

The wretched fish that one day crawled out of the sea

 To be a man

I paddled back to my homeland

And it's a dump it's a tin can

And I'm a cautionary tale

He sucked my blood, left me iron-poor and pale

A skeleton of years gone by

Led by the moon and by memory of the fire

We are the band, the band plays on

We're making music while the ship goes swiftly down

Down by the wreckage of the pier

Saw your darkness and I found my greatest fear

The Mighty Whale and Abraham

The wretched fish that one day crawled out of the sea

To be a man

Goodbye ocean

Goodbye England

I hope tomorrow treats you well

It's not your fault

It's probably me but

I'm getting out if I still can
