Super Furry Animals - Liberty Belle lyrics

Liberty Belle is ringing out across the sea

And everyone sings along

Though she's singing way out of key

From the shores of Galilee

To the runways of Anglesey

You know we're digging to hell

Right past our oil wells

As the magpies fly from Tallahassee

To the sky

Memory Lane forgot her way after all this time

And she never learned from her mistakes

And all the crime

That caused the gulf of misery

That's separating you from me

You know we're digging to hell

Drowning in our oil wells

As the seagulls fly from Abu Dhabi

To the sky

The birds still sing their melodies

Songs of love and food and trees

Oh my, how they fly

So little do they know, yeah

Yet their days are numbered so

Alarms are ringing in the trees:

You know you're digging to hell

Drowning in your oil wells

As the ashes fly from New York City

Past the grimy clouds above New Jersey

Past the kids who like to smoke like chimneys
