Soak up the Culture

All over the world go English Girls

On their gap years

Trying to find some space between

Their self-pierced ears

Departing St. Martins carting bargain states of mind

They say, "Je voudrais good time!

Do ya know the way to Berghain?

My name's Holly, I'm from Crawley, and I'm looking for the good wine"

Hair like a sculpture, visa like a vulture

Head just like a sponge

Soak up the culture, now

Soak up the culture, now

British Boys leave British soil

To find their fears

Apart from skiing, they haven't been

Abroad in years

"Ciao Bella," they say, "Yeah yeah, ciao Bella

I'm such a nice fella!"

"My name's Matthew, tell me all about you

Do ya wanna come and be sick in my hotel bathroom?"

Unpack your morals for Jack Kerouac's novels

Soak up the culture, now

Soak up the culture, now!

Soak up the culture, now

Soak up the culture

Soak up the culture, now

Soak up the culture

Soak up the culture, now

Soak up the culture, now

Soak up the culture, now

Suburban child, so meek and mild

Might run away

Heard liberte, egalite, and motorway

Posing for exposure

On Holiday in Cambodia

So soak up

The culture now!
