James Reyne - English Girls lyrics

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. 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 carca** 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.
