Uk Blues
Arrived in Helsinki, tired and sticky
My body hit the bed, I almost fell dead
Got to the venue, they ink-stamped my wrist, waitress asked me Mark...
Need a white fish
Got up on the stage, the sound it was ok
But I struggled like a marlin on an unlucky day
Tried a few new songs, they looked at me like what?
Where's ... cathedral...
Finland, Finland, so many trees, John Denver would be pleased
Finland, Finland, cold as ice but waitress she was nice
Middle ... she was stand like a ...
Big viking stepped in, big old...
Went back to my room, alone and I cried
been a year to the day, that my kit cat died
Left Helsinki, next stop was our house
A taxi to airplanes and a fucking shuttle bus
Denmark, Denmark, everybody's white
Everyone rides bikes
Denmark, Denmark, everyone rides bikes
Everybody's white
Left for london via Copenhagen, for a concert in the park at 1: 30pm
Got upon the stage, people gathered round
Retro... drowned in my sound
Turned on the tv, there was rioting & stuff...
As if this city isn't depressing enough
London, London, it's all the rage
If your favorite color's beige
London, London, look right, look left
makes me think of death
Off to Manchester, then to Bristol
Had a show on a boat, it was half full
Guy in the front, heckled me all night
Scan was a ... makes a ... white
Went back to my room, more eyes on the room
Home sick as fuck, got the uk blues
Bristol, Bristol, cobble stone streets
People missing teeth
Bristol, Bristol, is this really what
People think
Then to Belfast, had to catch a plane,
To get there fast
Had to get a room, had to change my clothes
Had to change my strength, check my sound and play a show
Had to meet some friends, had to take a bath
Had to catch a flight, ...
Belfast, Belfast, out the taxi ...sleeping on the ground
Belfast, Belfast, out the taxi ... sleeping on the ground.
