The pound sterling (symbol: £; ISO code: GBP), commonly known simply as the pound, is the official currency of the United Kingdom, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, the British Antarctic Territory, and Tristan da Cunha. It is subdivided into 100 pence (singular: penny). A number of nations that do not use sterling also have currencies called the pound. At various times, the pound sterling was commodity money or bank notes backed by silver or gold, but it is currently fiat money, backed only by the economy in the areas where it is accepted. The pound sterling is the world's oldest currency still in use and which has been in continuous use since its inception.
The British Crown dependencies of Guernsey and Jersey produce their own local issues of sterling: "Guernsey pound" and "Jersey pound". The pound sterling is also used in the Isle of Man (alongside the Manx pound),Gibraltar (alongside the Gibraltar pound), the Falkland Islands (alongside the Falkland Islands pound), Saint Helena and Ascension Island in Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha (alongside the Saint Helena pound). The Bank of England is the central bank for the pound sterling, issuing its own coins and banknotes, and regulating issuance of banknotes by private banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Banknotes issued by other jurisdictions are not regulated by the Bank of England; local governments use Bank of England notes as backing for local issuance by allowing them to be exchanged 1:1 at face value.

Opening Lyrics
Forget prior engagements
Cancel your plans
Let's do something amazing while we still can
Main Lyrics
I can't breathe under water
I can't stand in the air
But I could tear up your whole world
And then not even care
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Complete Lyrics
Forget Prior engagements
Cancel your plans
Let’s do something amazing
Why we still can
I'm floating above you
High on your kiss
We’re splashed like paint on the pavement
A beautiful waste
I'll drop bombs in the valley
If he comes near you
I'm gonna make something happen
Watch what you do
I can't breathe underwater
I can't stand in the air
But I will tear up your whole world
And not even care
So make lists of your lovers
People you kiss
Then tear them to pieces
Forget they exist
My hometown's a wasteland
Frightened of ghosts
We’re splashed like paint on the pavement
