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

A eulogy is read at a funeral to celebrate a person’s life. By opening with this song, Frank establishes the central theme of England Keep My Bones from the off—it’s death.

The song opens with a cornet solo (reminiscent of a funeral march). Frank then sings the first verse backed with only an acoustic guitar. The second verse is heavier, with drums and electric guitar.
