ENGLISH LOVER
Tempo: Brisk New Orleans Swing
Intro:
Dm/A#7/A7
1st Verse:
Dm
They speed through
A#7 A7
The black and gold shadows of lust
Dm
She’s laughing
A#7 A7
And she kisses of vodka tonics
Dm
She’s damp dark and willing
A#7 A7
He’s meek but dizzy
Dm
She’ll take an English lover
A#7 A7(Break)
But she won’t have me
2nd Verse:
Dm
In a rain soaked Germany
A#7 A7
A vague vision of the numbers on the car
Dm A#7 A7
As he takes her away from the bar
Dm
He’s a tall drink of water
A#7 A7
And she’s a pint low
Dm A#7 A7
She’ll take an English lover and sip him slow
Bridge:(Played Tacet)
Gm
Well, he’s tanked up
Full octane
Dm
Hurting to go
Gm
She’s such a savvy animal
A7(Let ring)
And moves her soft mouth so slow
Gm Dm
Together they’re tearing apart at his past
Gm
Unwrapping a present
A7(Let ring)
She hopes to God won’t last
3rd Verse:
Dm
Her spine a highway
Marked in lipstick
A#7 A7
That warns curves ahead
Dm
The scratch marks that run through the guardrail
A#7 A7
Make her eyes roll back in her head
Dm
She bites her lip
And braces tight
A#7 A7
Feels the impact: Cum
Dm
She’ll take an English lover
A#7 A
And wreck her for fun
Repeat Bridge
Repeat 3rd Verse
Refrain:
Dm
She’ll take an English lover
A#7 A7
In a rain soaked Germany
