Like any good Englishman I enjoy humour*
With all due seriousness
The sadness of laughter rings like a bell
And all's well
Laugh, laugh till your belly aches
And you almost remember who you are
Almost remember, almost, who you are
Like any good Englishman I try expression
With all due seriousness
The voice in the vacuum rings like a bell
And all's well
Sing, sing till your throat's so raw
That you almost discover who you are
Almost discover, almost, who you are
Like any good Englishman I've learned the bingeing
With all due seriousness
The action of alcohol rings like a bell
And all's well
Drink, drink till you're invincible
And you almost forget who you are
Almost forget, almost, who you are
Like any good Englishman I approach loving
With all due seriousness
The stuff in my head is cracked like a bell
And all's well
Love, love till your insides are out
And your briefly become who you are
Briefly become, briefly, who you are
Cry, cry till you're empty again
And you almost go back to who you were
Almost go back to, almost, who you were
