English Girls - James Reyne

作词：James Reyne

作曲：James Reyne

Rain slickered off the Lillian Way

Brompton afternoon so cold and grey

I was singing sky songs when I could

You thought that I was burning witches

I was just burning wood

And it was once upon a wintertime

Bells were singing the marriage chime

I fell in love with my English girl

English girl

English girl

English girl

Love will soften anything except perhaps your mind

Its brutal and barbaric and it sneaks up from behind

And London seasons needs in rightfuls never rang me wrong

And all I was doing was an awful lot of chewing

On the carcass of some silly old song

I sailed the wild blue yonder

Yes it was alright

Still I caught the last tube home

To my English Girl

English Girl

English Girl

English Girl

Some old shadows come a knocking

Let's get out of here

And if the boat starts rocking

Shoot the mutineer

Shoot the mutineer says my English Girl

English Girl

English Girl

English Girl
