Well, I knew it: somehow they would make her do it
Now she's gotta get down to it Now she's gotta just get through it: ride out the storm
And I told her she's gonna feel much older
Now everything feels colder Nobody around to hold her and keep her warm
Everybody's got decisions to make and face the consequences of each one they take
And if you gotta live a lie
Lie back and think of England: try to stop you're spirits sinking
Lie back and think of England - nobody need ever know
Lie back and think of England: what are you really thinking?
Lie back and think of England, before you let it go
Well, she said it wouldn't be so bad
Instead it maybe something she is dreading Losing every bit of her credibility
She said she'd take it one step at a time and make it to the end of the line,
And fake it is she had to have to and break it down steadily
You're no worse off than anyone looking down the barrel of a loaded gun
This is all about you
Never thought it would go down to the wire Now the bullet's in the chamber ready to fire
So what you gonna do?
Just, lie back and think of England
Think for a minute, don't say there's no alternative
Think for a minute, it doesn't have to be like this
No more pain, and when the anger starts to wane
And the dragon finally slain, it's not gonna get up again, no, not anymore
No more lies, and when furore dies
And there's nothing left to surprise us, she's still gotta look into the eyes of her baby boy
Everybody's got a story to tell and there's so many trashy magazines to sell
So are you gonna try?
Reputations are won and lost, and there's always a price and there's always a cost
So, where you gonna lie?
Lie back and think of England
They're all looking at you girl
Everybody's got a story to tell Everybody's got something to sell
Everybody's got a story to tell: you gotta get back on your feet again
