You can just imagine him singing it to some lass whilst chewing gum.

Plenty of room up top.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Little England boot boy ism?
It’s got “English” in the title.
Griff prefers Spanish Harlem.

It's quite poor, would almost be completely unremarkable if not for the use of the sound effects team from The Archers. They mustn't have been able to get the guy who does the footsteps on gravel, or creaky door.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

I was one of those douchey American Jam fans back when it was released, but it always made my skin crawl. “No bonds can take me from “she.”” Get fucked.

Re: English Rose
Just listened to it again yesterday. It's still just fine. Much worse is the angry-for-no-actual-reason "Mr. Clean". Hearing Weller get bitter and angry at mister businessman catching the morning train and getting drunk at office parties is embarrassing and just silly. Let him do his thing! Lyrical low point of the album. (The music's fine.)

It's fantastic! You're criticising it from the perspective of middle age, but it's a young man's song and one, as someone who also grew up in a commuter town, I can relate to.

Re: English Rose
‘Come Along’ meanwhile has a gorgeous but simple nursery rhyme feel, married to some of Weller’s most erotic lyrics yet.
