Yes Britannia Songtext
von Watsky

I′m pleading guilty with the Crown today
That's all I got to say
I will not lie to you
I had to try my luck across the sea
And now we′re history
I'm saying goodbye to you

Yes, I've been a mess
With the pressure the stress
See ya never, I guess
Nevertheless, finding you I was blessed
Swear I′m trying my best
Lion inside of my chest

Trying to claw his way out
Crack my ribs, pop my lungs
I don′t know if there's a safe route
Now, we can cut this frayed rope
Or hope and wait us to fade


Babe, after how great the ups were
We can′t be living with love when it's lost it′s luster
Frosted over, busted, exhausted, ruptured
Another couple who settled for less
We want something real

A relationship
(Wanna feel)
Quit chasing shit
(Gimme a shield)
Or she'll break me quick
And we will never be the same again

I′m pleading guilty with the Crown today
That's all I got to say
I will not lie to you
I had to try my luck across the sea
Now we're history
I′m saying goodbye to you

All we′re seekin's a person that we can cherish
I don′t think you really want a green card marriage
Nothing is fair but you're caring and can′t bear it
A lot of people perished tonight in Paris


The planet is a mean motherfucker
You wanna scream but we gotta lean on each other
We suffer and pick ourselves up off of the floor
Your dad at stage four, what could I say to support?

Can we just quit each other
The way you did cigarettes?
Up and split, cold turkey, no regrets?
I'd even miss tasting the nicotine on your breath when we kiss

I′m not ready to say goodbye to you yet
Like sayonara
I don't know if I can try tomorrow
Am I supposed to say a hallelujah
Smile I knew ya
And go on my way?

I'm pleading guilty with the Crown today (Guilty with the Crown today)
That′s all I got to say (That′s all I got to say)
I will not lie to you
I had to try my luck across the sea (Had to try my luck across the sea)
And now we're history
I′m saying goodbye to you

Oh, yes Brittania
I surrender
Book me and toss the key
Oh, yes Brittania
I'll remember your generosity
Oh, yes Brittania
Poison testers, princes and hooligans
Oh, yes Brittania
Loves a jester, and what a fool I′ve been
Yes, Brittania
