Recorded in 2011 during the Thunderclown sessions

lyrics

Here in this postcard
I want to tell you
What I never could to your face
Because I'm British, reserved

I hope you're happy
I hope that you are being served

Sometimes I feel so British, if you please
So British, if you please, I'm turning Japanese
Whoops, tsk tsk, dot dot dot

The weather's stormy here in Osaka
Stiff upper lip and all that kind of thing
Note to self: do buck up
I feel so strange here
I feel so far away from everything
I'm running out space again
So much to say

I'm signing off now
I hope you're chipper, toodle pip
Do try to keep in touch
Keep your dander up

Sometimes I feel so British, if you please
So unreal I'm almost Japanese
Whoops, PS, I forgot
Do I miss you? Not a lot
