[Verse 1]
The last dream of every dying soldier
I've seen you there
Flowers in your hair
The last dream of every dying lover
I've seen you there
With the flowers in your hair
[Pre-Chorus]
It's all too much today
Liz has gone away
Well, the giant courtesan
With the tiny hands, that all makes
[Chorus]
Me shiver
Shiver
For the Albionay
Shiver
Shiver
For the Albionay
[Verse 2]
The last dream of every dying soldier
I've seen you there
Flowers in your hair
The last king of еvery dying empire
Just lеt it die
Sit back, enjoy the ride
[Pre-Chorus]
They all queued up to see
The old girl's gone away
As the tattered standard hits the ground
Another coronation day
[Chorus]
(Shiver) Shiver
For the Albionay
Shiver
Shiver
For the Albionay
[Bridge]
There we were
Top and tail Arcadia
Reasons to stay alive
Not to die at 25
[Chorus]
I shiver
I shiver
On the Esplanade
I shiver
I shiver
For the Albionay
I shiver
I shiver
Albionay
I shiver
On the Esplanade
I shiver
Albionay
[Outro]

Peter Doherty:
