Are you ok now?
On Saturday I was a angel shining fair
You shone louder, longer
You put my shine to shame
Put me to shame now
What is it I must do to pay for all my crime
What is it I must do?
I would do it all the time
G Bm F#m Em
All that I wanted was to sing the saddest songs
F#m Em G
And if you would sing along I will be happy now
The woodland spring will put the darkness from your thinking
If this town's your sinking ship
Then you know where to jump
Talking dirty, for a hobby that's all right
So pour another glass of wine
I'll think of England this time
G Bm F#m Em
All that I wanted was to sing the saddest songs
F#m Em
And if you would sing along
F#m Em
And if you would sing along

And if you'd only sing along
