Listen to a short sample from this song, An English Girl (mp3, 0.7mb)

An English Girl

I have fallen in love with an English girl
As I'm sure you are aware
I met her at a football match
Deep in the heart of winter
The cold English winter

Chorus
And we love different teams
But share the same dreams we dream
That whatever may come
We can always go back and see
Ourselves standing there
With the rain in our hair
Like time travel without a machine.

Yes I have fallen in love with an English girl The rain had washed her hair
As it poured on the thousands
Of people who were there
Who didn't seem to care
And she went off to buy drinks
For my cousin and I
And his advice he said
That I could wait my whole life
For a chance like this
So I'd better not miss
Miss this chance of mine

And I have fallen more than I meant to fall
But it didn't hurt at all
And I have fallen in love
With an English girl
As I'm sure you are aware

And the storm had closed the ports
And as we travelled north
Our train it came to life Around midnight my cousin woke up
And he said to me "can you dream
Like time travel without a machine?"
