English Eyes

What youre sayin it never really crossed my mind
I hear playin and everybodys keepin time
Im recallin that girl I met in london town
She was strange, young and tender and narrowed all my choices down
Chorus:
We ran away into the night hypnotized
You carved your name right next to mine, english eyes
I was tryin to read her lips and knew the time was drawing near
I forgot what she said but I remember how she whispered in my ear
I can hear laughter coming from the places we once knew
There were stories from a stranger out of nowhere but they seemed so true
Chorus
English eyes, english eyes
(instrumental break)
English eyes
Red sky warning, girl you really put a spell on me
Never told me bout the daddy you refused to please
You took the bishop when the king was standing right in front of you
Theres nothing in it if I cant have a girl with eyes like you
Chorus repeats 2x
English eyes, yeah, english eyes, english eyes

English Dream

I once had a dream
A feeling inside
A yearning so bad you have to shout it out
Hey kid look at me
You can make it real
You can get it if you want
When I first started out
They shut all the doors
But I laughed at all the doors
And I kicked them down
Heres my energy for you
Step into the light while you still feel young
I look in your eyes
And I reach for your hands
Well Ill do anything
To make you understand
That Im still the seeker
For your english dream
Dont you give up trying
And dont you let me down
The english dream - dont let me down
The english dream - dont let me down
The english dream - dont let me down
The english dream - dont let me down
I look in your eyes
And I reach for your hands
Well Ill do anything
To help you understand
That Im still the seeker
For your english dream
Dont you
Dont you give up trying
And dont you let me down
The english dream - dont let me down
The english dream - dont let me down
The english dream - dont let me down
The english dream - dont let me down

Emit Remmus

The California animal is a bear
Angeleno but the devil may care
Summer time to talk and swear
Later maybe we could share some air
I'll take you to the movies there
We could walk through Leicester Square
What could be wetter than
An English girl American man

[Chorus:]
London in the summer time
Call me now use the satellite
London in the summer time
Cuss me out and it'll feel all right

Hesitate but don't refuse
The choice was yours but you said choose
The look she used was green and sharp
Stabbed that boy all in his heart
Come what may the cosmos will
Take me up and down on Primrose Hill
What could be wetter than
An English girl American man

[Chorus]

Cuss me out and it'll feel all right
It's all right now
Call me now use the satellite
It's all right
It's all right

Down and out and it'll sound all right
It's all right now
It's all right

The California flower is poppy child
Felony sends me all the gold in your smile
Drift away from anyone you can
Nothing ever goes according to plan
Though I know that every river bends
Time to say hello to snow on the Thames
What could be wetter than
An English girl American man

[Chorus]

The Beginnings

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When the English began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the English began to hate.

Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When the English began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When the English began to hate.

It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the English began to hate.

Ere the English began to hate.

Behind The Mask

All along I had to talk
About it
Like a two edged sword,
He touched you and it stabs (me)
Chorus:
All along I knew you were
A phony girl
You sit behind the mask
And you control your world
Yesterday he held you in his arms
But when Im holdin you
Feel its bitter charms
I cant judge what youre doin to me
You camouflage the truth,
Indulge your fantasy
(chorus)
(chorus)
Who do you love?
Is it me?
Is it him?
I dont know!
There is nothing in your eyes
(there is nothing in your eyes)
But thats the way you cry
(but thats the way you cry, girl)
All is grand, all is bright
(all is grand, all is bright)
Youre just srudyng my mind
(youre just srudyng my mind)
Was I invited to your masquerade?
Well, the partys over so
Now take off the face
You say you love, but its hard to see
cause when youre in his arms
Youre throwing rocks at me
(chorus)
(chorus)
There is nothing in your eyes
(there is nothing in your eyes)
But thats the way you cry
(but thats the way you cry, girl)
All is grand, all is bright
(all is grand, all is bright)
Youre just srudyng my mind
Eh, eh, eh
I walk around Im sufferein
In my doom
When I come to you,
Youre sittin in our room
The truth in you I have
Long to trace
So take off the mask so
I can see your face

English Roundabout

(colin moulding)
People rushing round with no time to spare.
Im so dizzy,
Im neither here nor there.
In this traffic jam,
I just want to shout,
Let me off o this english roundabout
English roundabout
And all the the horns go beep! beep!
All the people follow like sheep,
Im full of light and sound,
Making my head go round, round.
Everyone is cursing under their breath,
Im a passenger,
I feel close to death,
Hopeless situation,
I have no doubt.
Stop the madness, english roundabout
English roundabout
And all the cars go brum! brum!
And in my ears I feel a hum,
The neons blind my eyes,
All those tempers rise, rise.
Cars and buses go,
Puffing out their smoke,
Roll my window down,
I begin to choke.
I have had enough,
I just want to get out.
Let me off o this english roundabout.
English roundabout.

A Dedication - To K.S.G.

Fair Saxon, in my lover's creed,
My love were smaller than your meed,
And you might justly deem it slight,
As wanting truth as well as sight,
If, in that image which is shrined
Where thoughts are sacred, you could find
A single charm, or more or less,
Than you to all kind eyes possess.
To me, even in the happiest dreams,
Where, flushed with love's just dawning gleams,
My hopes their radiant wings unfurl,
You're but a simple English girl,
No fairer, grace for grace arrayed,
Than many a simple Southern maid;
With faults enough to make the good
Seem sweeter far than else it would;
Frank in your anger and your glee,
And true as English natures be,
Yet not without some maiden art
Which hides a loving English heart.
Still there are moments, brief and bright,
When fancy, by a poet's light,
Beholds you clothed with loftier charms
Than love e'er gave to mortal arms.
A spell is woven on the air
From your brown eyes and golden hair,
And all at once you seem to stand
Before me as your native land,
With all her greatness in your guise,
And all her glory in your eyes;
And sometimes, as if angels sung,
I hear her poets on your tongue.
And, therefore, I, who from a boy
Have felt an almost English joy
In England's undecaying might,
And England's love of truth and right,
Next to my own young country's fame
Holding her honor and her name,
I -- who, though born where not a vale
Hath ever nursed a nightingale,
Have fed my muse with English song
Until her feeble wing grew strong --
Feel, while with all the reverence meet
I lay this volume at your feet,
As if through your dear self I pay,
For many a deep and deathless lay,
For noble lessons nobly taught,
For tears, for laughter, and for thought,
A portion of the mighty debt
We owe to Shakespeare's England yet!

English Rose

what tender beauty lays before me
I call her my English rose
lips red like petals and as soft
earthen eyes I could sink into
breathless I look on captivated
if only I could bathe in her scent
lay my head upon her bosom
and sleep against the softest skin
how beautiful my English rose
how strong this feeling pines
at my thoughts into my soul
here is a beauty unlike any other
tenderly sweet before my eye
I could hold this picture forever
and forever love my English rose

yes, what if God does not speak english at all?

you were not born yesterday
and probably heard it before

that if your God does not speak english
then he must not be God

of course, something arrogant
hangs in the air
of this effortless superiority that
'englishers'
'english-plongplangs'
clai m, which, of course, we
always oppose and dub
as prettry dumb silly

but anyhow, yes, we are asked again
what if?
what if, this God, does not really speak English?

well, of course, he is still God
and he must not have considered the english language
that important

and i agree, even if i speak it,
i still have this language
of my soul,

albeit, in english, for you,
who does not speak my own language,

yes, of course, for you to perhaps
understand,

but i like it though, this thought
that God does not speak
the english language, lest, he may sound

so englishly, oh well,
arrogant.....

dear God
do you really...not speak english?

English Sunset

I want to ride the range
Across those skies of black
I want to see for myself
And see me coming back
And when Ive gone the distance
Ill be making tracks
For an english sunset.
Were on a runaway train
Rolling down the track
And where its taking us to
Who knows where its at
But if we hold together
We can make it back
For an english sunset
We want an english sunset.
I feel the rhythm of the earth
In my soul tonight
May it never fade away
And Ive decided I can live
With humility
And the sad decay
cos thats the english way.
We keep the faith alive
In everything we do
And at the end of the road
We still keep coming through
And though its sad and sorry
What else can we do
Its an english sunset
An english sunset.
I feel the rhythm of the earth
In my soul tonight
May it never fade away
And Ive decided they can wait
For the requiem
We take it day by day
cos thats the english way
I saw the english sunset.

English is a mixture

English is a mixture
You can see in theatre
English is neither paternal
Nor maternal
No word no grammer
Make english finer
Uniformity english

The Little Girl I Once Knew

We met when she was younger
And I had no eyes for her.
A few years went by and I saw her,
Now I'm gonna try for her.
(Look out, baby.)
(chorus)
She's not the little girl I once knew
She's not the little girl I once
She's not the little girl I once
She's not the little girl I once knew.
How could I ever have known that
She'd be what she is today.
An' look at how her boy friend calls her.
I'll be movin' in one day.
(split man)

(Bow, bow, bow) Laa-do-day,
(Bow, bow, bow) Laa-do-day,
(Bow, bow, bow) Laa-do-day,
(Bow, bow, bow),
(chorus)
She's not the little girl I once knew.
She's not the little girl I once,
She's not the little girl I once knew.
She's not the little girl I once,
She's not the little girl I once knew.
She's not the little girl I once,
She's not. . .

Teeth

English Teeth, English Teeth!
Shining in the sun
A part of British heritage
Aye, each and every one.
English Teeth, Happy Teeth!
Always having fun
Clamping down on bits of fish
And sausages half done.
English Teeth! HEROES' Teeth!
Hear them click! and clack!
Let's sing a song of praise to them -
Three Cheers for the Brown Grey and Black.

I Cant See Nobody

I walk the lonely streets; I watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello. guess I was just a happy guy.
Then you happened,girl, this feeling that posessses me.
I just cant move myself. I guess it all just had to be.
(chorus)
I cant see nobody...no, I cant see nobody.
Mine eyes can only look at you...you.
I used to have a brain; I used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.
Dont ask me why, little girl. I love you and thats all I can say.
Youre evry ,evry breath I take.you are my nights; my night and day.
(chorus...)
Every single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before...a love like yours so young and fine.
And now as I try to forget you...it doesnt work out any way.
I loved you such a long time ago...but in my eyes youll always be.
Every single word you hear...is coming from this heart of mine.
I loved you such a long time ago...dont know why...
And I dont know why...baby...

Keats

An English lad, who, reading in a book,
A ponderous, leathern thing set on his knee,
Saw the broad violet of the Egean Sea
Lap at his feet as it were village brook.
Wide was the east; the gusts of morning shook;
Immortal laughter beat along that shore;
Pan, crouching in the reeds, piped as of yore;
The gods came down and thundered from that book.
He lifted his sad eyes; his London street
Swarmed in the sun, and strove to make him heed;
Boys spun their tops, shouting and fair of cheek:
But, still, that violet lapping at his feet,—
An English lad had he sat down to read;
But he rose up and knew himself a Greek.

Forever

I gotta tell you what Im feelin inside, I could lie to myself, but its true
Theres no denying when I look in your eyes, girl Im out of my head over you
I lived so long believin all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin me this time
Chorus:
Its forever, this time I know and theres no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is thru, girl Ill be lovin you forever
I hear the echo of a promise I made
When youre strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I dont wanna go it alone
I never thought Id lay my heart on the line
But everything about you is tellin me this time
Chorus - yeah!
I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cos I lived my life believin all love is blind
But everything about you is tellin me this time

Everything depends on whether we have for opponents those French tricksters or those daring rascals, the English. I prefer the English. Frequently their daring can only be described as stupidity. In their eyes it may be pluck and daring.

Innocent Eyes

It was a coal black night
I was standing on a pier
I was thinking of a time
When you were here
We were so in love
We were blind to the world
Through the innocent eyes
Of a boy and a girl
Oh baby time goes on
But the memory won't fade
And when I hear that old song
I can't help thinkin' 'bout the love we made
Chorus:
One time I'd like to go back
To see better with not so inncocent eyes
One time I'd like to do that
If I could find a way
Now that innocent eyes have faded
On the night we met
We dance across the floor
From our first embrace
We were hungry for more
But baby time goes on
But the memory plays games
And when you hear that old song
Do you ever stop thinkin' about the love we made
Chorus
One time I'd like to go back
To see better with not so inncocent eyes
One time I'd like to do that
If I could find a way
One night it's all that I ask
To see better with not so inncocent eyes
One night I'd like to go back
If life would play that way
Oh but innocent eyes fade
