jeffrey lewis - what i love most in england (is the food!) lyrics

[verse 1]
i love to see those british roads, so free from advertising slogans
and i love those steering wheels that are the wrong side from my way
cuz i love each time i spot one british dog that’s riding shotgun
cuz to me a dog in a left+side seat looks like it’s driving down the highway
i love green sheet fields with all edges
bound by old stone walls and hedges
and the sticks, the vibes, the charming mix
of farmer, punk, and druid
that mist’s more mystic than where i’m from
but on this list the shock biggest to come
is that one other thing i really love in england is the food

[chorus]
some say los angеles seems strange to us
and new york seems so dangеrous
some say the germans all are cold
and the parisians all are rude
yeah there’s many stereotypes that we could set to rights tonight
and the single thing that i love most in england just might be the food

[verse 2]
i love that roasted mixed root grub
and i love those dinners in a pub
which this cozy medieval tavern culture
england’s most chock+full of
you might take them as low+class, cr+p, or cruddy
but i even like a bacon bap or b+tty
and i love that they’re sold on the side of the road
from some truck in a pull+off
i love that in most gas service stations
parking and inside the supermarket
and yorkshire pudding with gravy too
looks sure good on forks or plates
i gotta drop a good word in this for
a proper fish and chips with vinegar
and tikka masala’s found in all the tiny towns
and that’s not true in the states
[chorus]
some say los angeles seems strange to us
and new york seems so dangerous
some say the germans all are cold
and the parisians all are rude
yeah there’s many stereotypes that we gotta fight to set to rights
and the single thing that i love most in england just might be the food

[verse 3]
even though back in the uk and europe
they still are lackin’ maple syrup
you must respect that english breakfast options crush the usa
cuz for us men who don’t like eggs
the us breakfast menu begs the question
whatchu gonna get except for pancakes every day?
so the british breakfast caf, with options huge and prices half
that caf is a feat institution needed in america i say!
in us trips from queens to fresno
chips and beans? survey says no
even though the brits expect me to renounce
how to correctly pr+nounce café
it’s great there, don’t forget it
we gotta give the brits come credit
don’t complain just cuz there’s rain
or cuz the press is often crude
corroborate it if you read it
don’t care what sn0bs have ever said it
cuz the thing that i love most in england just might be the food
