give me a story and give me a bed

give me possessions

oh love luck and money they go to my head like wildfire

it's good to have something to live for you'll find

live for tomorrow

live for a job and a perfect behind, high time

England my country the home of the free, such miserable weather

but England's as happy as England can be

why cry



and did you know desire's a terrible thing

the worst that I could find

and did you know desire's a terrible thing

but I rely on mine, a-ah



England my country the home of the free, such miserable weather

why cry



and did you know desire's a terrible thing

the worst that I could find

and did you know desire's a terrible thing

but I rely on mine

did you know desire's a terrible thing

it makes the world go blind

but if desire, desire's a terrible thing

you know that I really don't mind



and it's my life

and though I can't be sure what I want any more

it will come to me later

well it's my life.... and it's my life

and though I can't be sure if I want any more

it will come to me later... ah, yeah
