 Nothing in Britain is really British. Its a small island that got invaded a lot. Still some things are so quintessentially British you couldnt mistake them for anything else.

As Billy Bragg likes to say, the only thing the british really own is that little hyphen between "Anglo" and "Saxon."

These lyrics are about American girls.
 
 British girls are all equally scrawny, with bad teeth.  
 
 
 Some girls are bigger than others
 Some girls are bigger than others
 Some girl's mothers are bigger than
 Other girl's mothers

so you like the sexually confused lyrics ok -
 
 paraphrasing from Joe Pernice's Bum Leg - "I got this scar above my eye from the dirty little shit who tried to love me under the bridge"

I don't see her as scrawny, I see her as just right. She has the physical strength of five scrawny women.
    And I know she'd never characterize herself as scrawny.

sounds familiar.
 
 
 Under the iron bridge we kissed
 And although I ended up with sore lips
 It just wasn't like the old days anymore
 No, it wasn't like those days
 Am I still ill ?
 Oh ...
 Am I still ill ?
 Oh ...

Who happen to be both Brits....sorry, not what we were looking for, thank you for playing and we have some nice parting gifts for you.

Moz owes more to the Rat Pack than Dusty Springfield.  He's a crooner and a greaser!  Not some white R&B singer.  Johnny Marr wouldn't have those licks if he didn't listen to rockabilly.  Sure, the Smiths may not have sang about the US, but their music definitely came from over here.
