Lyrics and translation
Original
I hope you know the best of me
And that I keep on and keep you free
There's a strong wind from over the sea
And darling, the nation's leaning
There's a damp patch in the ceiling
In it someone saw the face of God
But I only saw the paint peeling
Greet the thieves with a nod
Consider a crook's feelings
The patch and the pips need feeding
But all I see is the land receding
Any man's face or the face of God
Never known, only free when sleeping
Empathy is teething
England's hounds are barking
The billionaires are breeding
And the children are still starving
If you're gonna stick around
You'd best pay for parking
Get your ticket from the face of God
Greet your maker with a nod
If you ever find him
Consider a creator's feelings
Billions of sons and daughters
Like snakes skin peeling
Like falling clouds of stars
You only smile when you're dreaming
You're only free when you're sleeping
I hope you know the best of me
And that I keep on and keep you free
There's a strong wind from over the sea
And darling, the nation's leaning
There's an audience in the ceiling
In it someone saw the face of God
But I can only see the slack jaws
And hear the sounds of jeering
Greet your killer with a nod
Consider your feelings
You only smile when you're dreaming
You're only free when you're sleeping
You only smile when you're dreaming
You're only free when you're sleeping
You only smile when you're dreaming
You're only free when you're sleeping
You only smile when you're dreaming
You're only free when you're sleeping
You only smile when you're dreaming
You're only free when you're sleeping
