UK Blues

[Verse 1] Arrived in Helsinki, tired and sticky My body hit the bed, I almost felt 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?" [Chorus] Finland, Finland So many trees, John Denver would be pleased Finland, Finland Cold as ice but waitress, she was nice [Verse 2] 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 then, next stop was Aarhus A taxi, two airplanes, and a fucking shuttle bus [Chorus] Denmark, Denmark Everybody's white, everyone rides bikes Denmark, Denmark Everyone rides bikes, everybody's white [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] London, London It's all the rage if your favorite color's beige London, London Look right, look left, makes me think of death [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] Bristol, Bristol Cobblestone streets, people missing teeth Bristol, Bristol Is this really what people eat? [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus] Belfast, Belfast Out the taxi window, cows sleeping in the grass Belfast, Belfast Out the taxi window, cows sleeping in the grass
