English Girls Approximately (Live)

English girls are pretty when they play guitar
Crazy like a day just a-breaking
And I ain't sure what for
Ain't got a mother or father or place to fall
She's got a brother in the blues
But he doesn't know the blues at all

You said you didn't love me, it was right on time
I was just about to tell you, but okay, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing
English girls can be so mean

She's got eyes as pretty as a pair of jewels
Falling down a canyon like a couple drunken criminals
She had a messy bedroom on the edge of town
I ain't ever been good enough to ever keep around

You said you didn't love me, it was right on time
I was just about to tell you, but okay, alright.
Said you didn't love me, didn't mean a thing
English girls can be so mean

But, ohh, look at you now
Ohh, look at you now
Mmmm, best I've ever seen
Just a tall drink of water
Pourin' on down the sink

A tall drink of water
She's a Norfolk waterfall
Little daybreaker
She's a shootin' like a cannonball
Crazy like a rocket
When you're coming through my radio
Kept me in your bed
Till the wintertime turned to fall

Fall time coming
And I guess my little girl can sing
Well, come on Elizabeth, a-come on a-Bethany
Now come on forever
I'm tired, and I wanna sleep
Well my little dove flew
And I guess a-she's done with me

Said you didn't love me, it was right on time
I was just about to tell you, but okay, alright
Said you didn't love me, didn't want a thing
English girls can be so mean

But ohh, look at you now
Ohh, look at you now
Mmmm, best I've ever seen
Just a tall drink of water
Pourin' on down the sink

Kiss me on the lips
When your heart just laughed it off
Words may move
But they're never moving fast enough
Celebrate the differences
I celebrate the songs you sing
Just three words, my love
You meant everything
You meant everything
You meant everything
You meant everything

Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
