Berikut ini lirik lagu “England” dari Ed Sheeran:
[Verse 1]
It is opening day and a brand new start
The stones have been cleared around the fishermen's hut
And the air bites, then leaves, almost invisible cuts on the skin
A lighthouse retired, but?a?new?one was hired
About?twenty foot taller,?painted in black and white
Twenty million steps with a computer inside instead of him
[Chorus]
Only one road sign tellin' cars to slow down
And a long drop in the ocean
Beware of the riptide, broken glass and train lines
It's a new day and this is England
[Verse 2]
Next to the pub with the flag that's workin' flexible hours
'Cause there's a mismatch of carriages, soil in a boat for some flowers
Fairy lights on a building that's supplyin' us power from the sea
Electricity lines flow like veins to the town
In-between, there is nothin' but grass and pebbles on the ground
Do not enter the wild here if you want to be found for the free
[Chorus]
View the flame of sunrise cut in half by the sky
And the empty of the desert
Team of birds that swerve by and then land on the wire
It's a new day and this is England
[Bridge]
When it's time to escape from the heavy of this
There is nothin' like washin' away
I find this country of mine gets a bad reputation
Of bein' cold and grey
But on the coast of the south to the east followed round
I find serenity I've never felt
There's a peace and a quiet in this island of ours
That can't be mirrored by anywhere else
[Verse 3]
Homes protruding from stones with their wood coloured black
Scattered cars in a line, steam risin' out the shaft
One door at the front and then just glass out the back for the view
[Chorus]
And the blue is so bright, you'll need shades for your eyes
And a cable to pull over
Take a walk and feel like everything will be fine
It's a new day and this is England
