Lyrics

I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
 England is mine, and it owes me a living
 Ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
 Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye
 But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
 No, we cannot cling to those dreams
 Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body?
 I don't know
 Under the iron bridge, we kissed
 And although I ended up with sore lips
 It just wasn't like the old days anymore
 No, it wasn't like those days
 Am I still ill?
 Oh, oh, oh
 Am I still ill?
 Oh, oh, oh
 Does the body rule the mind, or does the mind rule the body?
 I don't know
 Ask me why, and I'll die
 Oh, ask me why, and I'll die
 And if you must go to work tomorrow
 Well, if I were you I wouldn't bother
 For there are brighter sides to life
 And I should know because I've seen them
 But not often
 Under the iron bridge, we kissed
 And although I ended up with sore lips
 It just wasn't like the old days anymore
 No, it wasn't like those days
 Am I still ill?
 Oh, oh, oh
 Oh, am I still ill?
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
