Paul Kelly - When the Girl's Not Even English lyrics

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
