British Sea Power Lyrics
"It Ended On An Oily Stage"

Everything you said was true
Everything you did was you
Everything I started with there
Ended on an oily stage
Where I wrote elegiac stanzas for you
I hope and pray they come true

We found God
In a parking lot
And you did not
I headed for the coastal regions of mine
To see what I find

But I do understand what I looked for in you
As if you really cared

All across the Eastern Board
Languages were being lost
You look so elegantly bored now
Totally at ease with it all yeah
Whilst you were drunk you let it all slip
I hope I pray that it's ok

We found God
In a Wiltshire field
Whilst you did not
I headed for the coastal regions of mine
To see what I find

But I do understand what I looked for in you
As if you really cared

We found God
In a Wiltshire field
Whilst you did not
I headed for the coastal regions of mine
To see what I find
