When The Girl's Not Even English

When the girl's not even English, oh no

and fancy turns to anguish, oh no

and emotion all is useless

because it doesn't speak her kind of language

That's when you fall into a spin

that's when you fall into a spin

When you're speeding in a silent zone, oh no

and out the window all your thoughts have flown, oh no

and on a table that's abandoned

you read someone's letter to their loved one

That's when you fall into a spin

that's when you fall into a spin

Without a reason alone

and a heart made of stone

Without a reason to die

there's nothing she lacks

Always good at the flower

It's a terrible act

Never take a partner in crime, oh no

He ain't the one that's gonna have to do your time, oh no

You pour out all your secret dreams

you turn around he's turned them into schemes

Now his girl's not even English

now his girl's not even English

I saw you the other day its true

now his girl's not even English

She was talking in an entirely different language to you

now his girl's not even English
