<br />
==Lyrics==<br />
A child keeps its toys hid away<br><br />
until it wants to break them<br><br />
Take your share and go away<br><br />
Make sure you get the last word<br><br />
Sit back out of harm's reach<br><br />
Watch the little cup of poison<br><br />
chasing its own tail round and round<br><br />
until it's exhausted at its wit's end<br />
<br />
United Kingdom<br><br />
United Kingdom<br />
<br />
I try my best<br><br />
I wait for you to nail me<br><br />
Now I try and never do<br><br />
anything that you tell me<br><br />
Because waiting about an inch<br><br />
under human nature<br><br />
Tragedies and comedies<br><br />
and the touching sense of failure<br />
<br />
United Kingdom<br><br />
United Kingdom<br />
<br />
When you held me in your arms<br><br />
at the limits of your patience,<br><br />
I knew I'd always lose<br><br />
every scene of violence<br><br />
When you held me in your arms,<br><br />
why didn't you want me?<br><br />
When you held me in your arms,<br><br />
why didn't you touch me?<br />
<br />
Well I used to know<br><br />
how to slip through your blind spot<br><br />
And now I just watch myself<br><br />
set the alarms off<br><br />
I'm happier now<br><br />
in my shame<br><br />
And I don't look to you<br><br />
for anything<br />
