American Accent

歌詞

I loved it then and I love it no The Country and the Cajun and the Delta Blues There's nothing like the tapping of a blue suede shoe When it's done in an American Accent I loved the Memphis and the Nashville sound I tuned to "Lux" when the lights were down I sang like Elvis on my paper round I sang in an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kind of high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent I bought a guitar when I was just fourteen I wanted to be groovy on the party scene Looking kind of chubby in my Parker's jeans I sang in an American accent Bobby Dylan, he was all the rage The denim-clad hero of the modern age Guess I was going through an awkward stage When I sang in an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kind of high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent I sang a song on the BBC They let me keep the tape for free I played it back, it didn't sound like me I sang in an American accent Opened the curtains and I looked outside Saw the reality I could not hide This isn't Memphis, this is Morningside And I don't have an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kind of high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent I loved it then and I love it no The Country and the Cajun and the Delta Blues There's nothing like the tapping of a blue suede shoe When it's done in an American Accent I loved the Memphis and the Nashville sound I tuned to "Lux" when the lights were down I sang like Elvis on my paper round I sang in an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kind of high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent Doesn't matter if it's fast or slow Kind of high or way down low They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent They'll never play it on the radio Unless you sing in an American accent
