Songs with Britishisms and British references

[Bill Walker]

Typical examples..

Waterloo sunset by the Kinks.
Referencing Waterloo station referencing a British place.

"Curse Sir Walter Raleigh he was such a stupid get"..
From I'm so Tired by The Beatles

A Britishism like when someone calls someone a "daft get"

 

[journolud]

A Bomb in Wardour St- The Jam

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Baby Britain - by Elliott Smith

Baby Britain feels the best
Floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems with bigger problems

 

[Innsbruckblue]

A New England - Billy Bragg (also Kirsty MacColl)

 

[Out on blue 6]

England my country the home of the free, such miserable weather
But England's as happy as England can be
Why cry

The Sundays - Can't Be Sure

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

The Fog on the Tyne is all mine, all mine.
The fog on the Tyne is all mine.

Lindisfarne.

 

[J.G.Blue.]

"Britishisms & british references" Just listen to the brilliant Ian Dury.

 

[Out on blue 6]

Dreadzone - Little Britain
The Jam - English Rose

 

[Tuearts right boot]

London calling...The Clash

But one thing's for sure, we dont do Britishisms like the Americans do Americanisms
