Ed Harcourt - When Americans Come to London lyrics

When Americans come to London wearing their clean white shoes The men wear baseball caps and the women they look confused Whenever I travel I try to blend in the crowd Flowing to airports not thinking aloud When Americans come to London they don't understand our jokes They're loud but always pleasant and ride the tourist boats They buy too much shortbread and put on weight Just don't get nervous, these are not your traits So good that you come over here from there So good that you come over here from there Cos otherwise I'd be in despair Don't fear the USA Don't mock their quirky ways They buy quaint English towns But don't put them down down down So good that you come over here from there So good that you come over here from there So good that you came over here from there Cos otherwise I'd be in despair
