We set fire to the English Rose
And it burns and we make history
Why you'd ever want to leave
Or pack up and go home is a mystery
Oh well, I guess that's how it all works
She tells me to stop bothering
She's really quite the pain
She's just after solitude
But she's driving me insane
But someplace, something's happening
A brand new cause to believe in
And it feels so strange that change is here
Tell me, what do you do when you're feeling the fear
That this is history?
At least it is for me
But I'm worried I can't get it to repeat
So then I just sing
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
I said, this is history for me
She needs attention everyday
Every second of your life
I'm just another hedonist
And my boys shine through the lies
Of the teachers, parents and the police
Is this what they've released
To a world which is not how it should be?
You can cause some panic
In the sky, in the streets
And they'll just carry you on
They don't have a clue about me
And I can't carry on like this, no, no
So then I just sing
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
I said, this is history for me
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
I said, this is history
And I'm happy as can be
Out of the noise
Came a voice from you
From you
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
Ey-oh woah-oh-oh
We set fire to the English Rose
And it burns and we make history
Why you'd ever want to leave
Or pack up and go home, it's a mystery
Oh well, I guess that's how it all works
Oh well, I guess that's how the world works
