Lyrics:
English girl in an American town
No elevator to the fifth floor, I'll
Ring on the buzzer then you'll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees
the drums of war
[English Settlers]
Savages! Savages!
[Ben]
Let's go kill a few, men!
[Native Americans]
Savages! Savages!
[Ratcliffe]
Now it's up to you,
years and for years
Now I don't speak any English, just American without tears
Just American without tears
One had been a beauty queen and the other
Sold American
Sold American
to the movies there
We could walk through Leicester square
What could be wetter than
An English girl, American man
London in the summertime
Call me now,
to the movies there
We could walk through Leicester square
What could be wetter than
An English girl, American man
London in the summertime
Call me now,
the afternoon
He likes my American smile
Like a child when our eyes meet, darling, I fancy you
Took me back to Highgate, met all of his best mates
So I guess
„Doesn't anybody speak english around here?“
Americans in Europe
Have a coffee with Ghaddafi
Have a gin in Berlin
Have a ball at the wall
„Doesn't anybody speak english around here?“
Americans in Europe
Have a coffee with Ghaddafi
Have a gin in Berlin
Have a ball at the wall
seldom get
Only for Americans
Our finest art is in the Louvre
The ones the experts don't approve
Are only for Americans
We keep an artist by
shoulders, I sit and see your face above the tree-line
Your reassurances subtitled in American English
I am calm as we sail down the hillside
In American
Wh? What? Wha? OK.
There comes two million people who've got the selfish gene
Now I've checked my blood for English-ness, it's clean.
I've got
Life's a bitch, I hope to not make her a widow
Oh no, oh, I never gave up no way
I never felt that before
(American dreamin')
Oh no, oh, I never gave
Life's a bitch, I hope to not make her a widow
Oh no, oh, I never gave up no way
I never felt that before
(American dreamin')
Oh no, oh, I never gave
took my love then died that day
I played an American
From the skies, you can almost hear them cry
Tora! Tora! Tora!
In the town, they were going
speak any English
Just American without tears
It was an idea that he dandled on his knee
and nursed it like his coffee cup
when he couldn't find any
