By the time you wake up
I’ll be gone, gone, gone
And the lady on the radio
Will have finished her sad song
All the time you’ve been asleep
The kettle has boiled dry
And the birds’ve been up for hours
And the sun’s up in the sky
So open your eyes Britannia
Don’t let your life pass by
‘Cus by the time you wake up
This whole world is gonna die
By the time you wake up
We’ll be gone, gone, gone
And the lady on the radio
Will have finished her sad song
All the time you’ve been asleep
The ocean has boiled dry
And the birds have turned to powder
And the sun’s curled up and died
So open your eyes Britannia
Don’t let your life pass by
‘Cus by the time you wake up
This whole world is gonna die
Bye-bye love
Bye-bye happiness
Hello loneliness
I think I’m gonna cry
