The Borders of This Land Lyrics & Tabs by Cats On Fire
The Borders of This Land
guitar chords lyrics
The breeze blows colder at this Sunday seaside lunch
By the boat you legally acquired
Our little museum in the North is in decline
You predict the East will rise again
When you are lowered into the ground
Your friends will set up a memorial fund
Supporting all the boys who
Dedicate their lives
To our common end
I avert my eyes
I stare at the sea
The founding fathers will not leave us be
Another gruesome wartime anecdote is told
Those beady eyes, what do they want?
My attempt to pay for mine is kept back with a grin
Another gruesome wartime anecdote is told
Those beady eyes, what do they want?
My attempt to pay for mine is kept back with a grin
'Cause we can never pay enough
When you are lowered into the ground
Your friends will set up a memorial fund
Then give it to the boys who
Sacrifice their lives
They, our national pride
I avert my eyes
I stare at the sea
The founding fathers abusing you and me
I'm so thin
I'm of no help at all
But you say every little child must find its place
I let the wind embrace me
Pacify my mind
And when I close my eyes
No one knows just what I see
And no one can take this view away from me
