Ian Hunter Lyrics of the Death of a Nation track

I was having a drink with Prince Charles and the Queen

When Winston Churchill stepped into my dream

His head it was heavy, his voice was shakin'

He said, "Look what they've done - it's the death of a Nation"



I followed his shadow right out of the bar

And we talked all night 'neath the light of the stars

He said, "This used to be a cradle of civilization

Now look what they've done - it's the death of a Nation"



Everything's illusion now, nothing's what it seems

Money isn't everything, when you're turning your back on a dream

I held you together when you were breakin'

You can pull down the flags- it's the death of a Nation



Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye,

'N we'll never die, no we'll never die

Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye,

'N we'll never die, no we will never die



From the bottom of this ancient heart

I hate to see you falling apart

Cos I love you still, I love you still, I love you still



You've been getting away with it far too long

Your promises ain't worth the paper they're printed on

I had a love, but that love's been forsaken

Look what they've done, it's the death of a Nation.



Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye,

'N we'll never die, no we'll never die

Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye,

'N we'll never die, no we will never die



Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye,

'N I'll never die, no I will never die

Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye,

'N I'll never die, no I will never die
