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

It's all too much today
Liz has gone away
Well, the giant courtesan with the tiny hands
Her love makes

Me shiver
Shiver for the Albionay
Shiver
Shiver for the Albionay

The last dream of every dying soldier
I've seen you there, flowers in your hair
The last king of every dying empire
Just let it die
Sit back, enjoy the ride

They all queued up to see
The old girl's gone away
As the tattered standard hits the ground
Another coronation day

(I shiver)
Shiver for the Albionay
I shiver
I shiver for the Albionay

There we were
Top and tail Arcadia
Reasons to stay alive
Not to die at 25

I shiver (I shiver)
I shiver on the Esplanade
I shiver
Oh man, I shiver for the Albionay
I shiver
I shiver for the Albionay (I shiver)
On the Esplanade, I shiver for the Albionay (I shiver)
