English Murder - Sol Invictus

I wait here by the coast, in the company of ghosts

I sit and watch the world go by, sometimes I just sit and cry

Just another English murder, a poster on the station wall

Just another English murder, Britannia gone rotten to the core

I carry my guilt like a watch, but one that just won’t stop

Doomed by the hands of God, whose giggling won’t stop

Chorus

By the line she lies dead, beneath a mattress, her deathbed

In England — this septic isle;

in England—Maxwell smiles

Chorus

Just another English murder, your photo on my wall

Just another English murder, it doesn’t look like you at all in the dark
