English Girls Approximately (Live at Carnegie Hall; November 15, 2014)

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

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 bird can sing
Come on Elizabeth, a come on a Bethany
Come on further, I'm tired and I want to sleep
My little dove flew, and I guess she was 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, just a-pourin' on down the sink

Kiss me on the lips when my heart just laughed it off
Words may move, but they're never moving fast enough
You 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

They set the clocks of us, I was on purpose reach the limits
You know I know you guys do it

Other people I worked with has a thing called Ryan time
And so where I am on the world when I go on stages at 8 o'clock
Doesn't matter where I am
And I know that between 8 to 10 o'clock nobody can tell me what to do
So you can't tell me what to do
No

But anyway Ryan time is running out
But because in this place if Ryan time goes too long it's like 15000 dollars a song or something
Yeah I don't know seem my record's at the top of the chart
I haven't either
So I gotta get one, it does like it's be like this one is next one
This next song I call I'm made of money blue
Yeah They say I'm made of money blue
Like right away I'm about start writing that so I have to stop right now
'Cause the chorus is gonna say something about golden underwear but I can't do it
Also gross
