the english dead - sol invictus lyrics

[chorus]
nathaniel ager is my name and england is my nation
seaburgh is my dwelling*place and christ is my salvation
when i am dead and in my grave, and all my bones are rotten
i hope the lord will think on me when i am quite forgotten

[verse 1]
just because you don’t see us
it won’t mean that we’re not here
just because we don’t make a scene
it doesn’t mean that we don’t care
you see we are the english dead
we don’t like to make a fuss
but you would be very wise, old chap
not to upset us

[refrain]
the english dead
the english dead

[verse 2]
we don’t dwell too much on god
we are mostly c of e
and if we’re forced to murder you
we say “thank you” and we say “please”
we are from the old school
we side with the underdog
don’t like show offs and bullies
dislike the huntsmen more than the fox
[refrain]
the english dead
the english dead

[verse 3]
we like to think we are being fair
greet you with a clipped “good morning”
but are rather ashamed of finding
some of the spanish quite appalling
when we see the goose*step
we tend to titter and to grin
but when we are forced to fight
we usually win

[refrain]
the english dead
the english dead
the english dead
the english dead

[bridge]
so, if you find a crown (the english dead)
it’s best you leave it in the ground (the english dead)
or sadly i will have to track you down (the english dead)
and turn your sweet smile upside down (the english dead)
because
[chorus]
nathaniel ager is my name and england is my nation
seaburgh is my dwelling*place and christ is my salvation
when i am dead and in my grave, and all my bones are rotten
i hope the lord will think on me when i am quite forgotten

[outro]
the english dead
