give me possessions
oh love luck and money they go to my head like wildfire
it''s good to have something to live for you''ll find
live for tomorrow
live for a job and a perfect behind, high time
England my country the home of the free, such miserable weather
but England''s as happy as England can be
why cry

and did you know desire''s a terrible thing
the worst that I could find
and did you know desire''s a terrible thing
but I rely on mine, a-ah

England my country the home of the free, such miserable weather

why cry

and did you know desire''s a terrible thing
the worst that I could find
and did you know desire''s a terrible thing
but I rely on mine
did you know desire''s a terrible thing
it makes the world go blind
but if desire, desire''s a terrible thing
you know that I really don''t mind

and it''s my life
and though I can''t be sure what I want any more
it will come to me later
well it''s my life.... and it''s my life
and though I can''t be sure if I want any more
it will come to me later... ah, yeah
