Sun Kil Moon - UK Blues lyrics
[Sun Kil Moon - UK Blues lyrics]
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, meat or white fish?"
Got up on the stage, the sound it was okay
But, I struggled like a marlin
On an unlucky day tried a few new songs
They looked at me like "what?"
Where's Katy Song, Mistress
And Grace Cathedral Park?
Finland, Finland
So many trees, John Denver would be please, d
Finland, Finland
Cold as ice but waitress, she was nice
Met a Finn after, she was thin like a waif
Her big viking stepped in
Big old oaf named Leif
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 Aarhus
A taxi, two 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 up on the stage, people gathered 'round
A retro '80s band drowned out my sound
Went and got my check, went back to my room
Feeling suicidal, feeling full of gloom
Turned on the TV, there was rioting and 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
His skin was a sickly mix of grey, pink
And white
Went back to my room, more riots on the news
Home sick as fuck, got the UK blues
Bristol, Bristol
Cobblestone streets, people missing teeth
Bristol, Bristol
Is this really what people eat?
Back to London, then to Belfast
Had to catch a plane, had to get there fast
Had to get a room, had to change my clothes
Had to change my strings, check my sound
And play a show
Had to meet some friends, had to take a bath
Had to catch a flight, going home at last
Belfast, Belfast out the taxi window
Cows sleeping in the grass belfast, Belfast
Out the taxi window
Cows sleeping in the grass
My body hit the bed, I almost fell dead
Got to the venue, they ink-stamped my wrist
Waitress asked me "Mark, meat or white fish?"
Got up on the stage, the sound it was okay
But, I struggled like a marlin
On an unlucky day tried a few new songs
They looked at me like "what?"
