"English Kids In America" lyrics

"English Kids In America"

Bags packed and by the door, they've been there for a week or so
Passport is looking worn, in the picture I look 12 years old
Outside the weather's cold, I'm wearing every sweater I own
It's hot there so I've been told, won't be wearing nothing at all

This is goodbye
Catching our flight tonight
Can't stay
Going away today

We'll get lost and find ourselves in a foreign land
We'll swim in seas and lie on sand
Singing "Wha-wha-oh wha-wha-ohhh We're English kids in America!"

Shades and bikini babes, I'm planning on a drink or two
Hang 10 and catch some waves, I've forgotten everyone I knew

I've left home, you're home alone
No wifi or mobile phone now that the open road is all I know

Get lost and find yourself in a foreign land
Go swim in seas and lie on sand
Singing "Wha-wha-oh wha-wha-ohhh We're English kids in America!"
