England Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Someone send a runner through the weather that I'm under
For the feeling that I lost today
Someone send a runner for the feeling that I lost today
Someone send a runner through the weather that I'm under
For the feeling that I lost today
Someone send a runner for the feeling that I lost today
[Pre-Chorus]
You must be somewhere in London
You must be loving your life in the rain
You must be somewhere in London
Walking Abbey Lane
I don't even think to make, I don't even think to make
I don't even think to make corrections
[Chorus]
Famous angels never come through England
England gets the ones you never need
I'm in a Los Angeles cathedral
Minor singin' airheads sing for me
[Verse 2]
Put an ocean and a river between everybody else
Between everything, yourself and home
Put an ocean and a river between everything, yourself and home
Someone send a runner through the weather that I'm under
For the feeling that I lost today
Someone send a runner for the feeling that I lost today
Someone send a runner through the weather that I'm under
For the feeling that I lost today
Someone send a runner for the feeling that I lost today
[Pre-Chorus]
You must be somewhere in London
You must be loving your life in the rain
You must be somewhere in London
Walking Abbey Lane
I don't even think to make, I don't even think to make
I don't even think to make corrections
[Chorus]
Famous angels never come through England
England gets the ones you never need
I'm in a Los Angeles cathedral
Minor singin' airheads sing for me
[Verse 2]
Put an ocean and a river between everybody else
Between everything, yourself and home
Put an ocean and a river between everything, yourself and home
[Pre-Chorus]
You must be somewhere in London
You must be loving your life in the rain
You must be somewhere in London
Walking Abbey Lane
I don't even think to make, I don't even think to make
I don't even think to make corrections
[Chorus]
Famous angels never come through England
England gets the ones you never need
I'm in a Los Angeles cathedral
Minor singin' airheads sing for me
[Outro]
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
You must be somewhere in London
You must be loving your life in the rain
You must be somewhere in London
Walking Abbey Lane
I don't even think to make, I don't even think to make
I don't even think to make corrections
[Chorus]
Famous angels never come through England
England gets the ones you never need
I'm in a Los Angeles cathedral
Minor singin' airheads sing for me
[Outro]
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, stay the night with the sinners
Afraid of the house, 'cause they're desperate to entertain
About
Genius Annotation
“England” is the title of the song but it more so seems directed towards a woman the singer was once in a relationship with, rather than the place. England is part of the UK and it seems that said lady is carrying on with her life after breaking up with the singer, leaving him in a state of numbness.
