St. George Lyrics

Only mad thought an Englishman would go out in the mid-day sun, mid-day sun
But I still had time to find the games on the northern lanes
The western peers no longer here and oh...

And where have all the heartstings gone
As beautiful as the day is long, would I still have time for you
And lay me down to lie and breathe unpleasant air

Jerusalem was built in here but we have no ??? to land in here
Foreign hound don't bury me but I'll still have my cup of tea and oh...

And where have all the heartstings gone
As beautiful as the day is long, would I still have time for you

Seeing this side of which I stay
It's never sixty miles away
Seeing this side of which I stay
It's never sixty miles away

Go

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home
This green and pleasant land
This green and pleasant land

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home
This green and pleasant land
This green and pleasant land

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home
This green and pleasant land
This green and pleasant land

Come And See The Lights

Only mad thought an Englishman would go out in the mid-day sun, mid-day sun
But I still had time to find the games on the northern lanes
The western peers no longer here and oh...

And where have all the heartstings gone
As beautiful as the day is long, would I still have time for you
And lay me down to lie and breathe unpleasant air

Jerusalem was built in here but we have no ??? to land in here
Foreign hound don't bury me but I'll still have my cup of tea and oh...

And where have all the heartstings gone
As beautiful as the day is long, would I still have time for you

Seeing this side of which I stay
It's never sixty miles away
Seeing this side of which I stay
It's never sixty miles away

Go

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home
This green and pleasant land
This green and pleasant land

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home
This green and pleasant land
This green and pleasant land

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home
This green and pleasant land
This green and pleasant land

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

And where have all the heartstrings gone As beautiful as the day is long, would I still have time for you And lay me down to lie in green and pleasant land

Jerusalem was builded here but we have no savior to lend an ear Foreign hand gon' bury me but I'll still have my cup of tea

And where have all the heartstrings gone As beautiful as the day is long But I still have time for you Lay me down to lie in green and pleasant land

Seeing this site of which I say Its never sixty miles away Seeing this site of which I say Yeah its never sixty miles away

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home This green and pleasant land This green and pleasant land

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home This green and pleasant land This green and pleasant land

For Harry, for England, and St. George, my home This green and pleasant land This green and pleasant land
