British lyrics
I just came upon a lyric I printed on a photo postcard for the Kirstyfest (Kirsty MacColl get-together) where we celebrated what would have been her 50th (2009). The line is so wonderfully British:
“Some lives read like a postcard and some lives read like a book. I’ll be happy if mine doesn’t read like a joke from an old Christmas cracker.”
Aside from that sentiment, what other lyrics can you think of that could only be written/sung by a Brit?
