I was having a drink with Prince Charles and the Queen When Winston Churchill stepped into my dream His head it was heavy, his voice was shakin' He said, "Look what they've done - it's the death of a Nation" I followed his shadow right out of the bar And we talked all night 'neath the light of the stars He said, "This used to be a cradle of civilization Now look what they've done - it's the death of a Nation" Everything's illusion now, nothing's what it seems Money isn't everything, when you're turning your back on a dream I held you together when you were breakin' You can pull down the flags- it's the death of a Nation Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, 'N we'll never die, no we'll never die Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, 'N we'll never die, no we will never die From the bottom of this ancient heart I hate to see you falling apart Cos I love you still, I love you still, I love you still You've been getting away with it far too long Your promises ain't worth the paper they're printed on I had a love, but that love's been forsaken Look what they've done, it's the death of a Nation. Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, 'N we'll never die, no we'll never die Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, 'N we'll never die, no we will never die Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, 'N I'll never die, no I will never die Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye, 'N I'll never die, no I will never die
