Notes: |
"I actually became friends with [Marianne Faithfull] and she sang on my new record. We cut this track called 'English Girls Are Mean' - you can guess what that's about - and we dueted it. It's not her normal low-register thing. She actually sings and it's sort of cute and beautiful and righteous." Ryan Adams to CMJ. |

Lyrics: |
English girls are pretty when they play guitar |
| Crazy like a day just a-breaking I ain't sure what for | |
| Ain't got a mother or father or place to fall | |
| She got a brother in the blues, but he doesn't know the blues at all | |
| Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you, but ok, alright | |
| Said you didn't love me, it didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean | |
| She's got eyes as pretty as a pair of jewels | |
| Falling down in Camden like a couple drunken criminals | |
| She had a messy bedroom on the edge of town | |
| I had never been good enough to ever keep around | |
| Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you, but ok, alright | |
| Said you didn't love me, it didn't mean a thing, English girls can be so mean | |
| But, ohh, look at you now | |
| Ohh, look at you now | |
| Mmmm, best I've ever seen | |
| Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink | |
| Tall drink of water, she's a Norfolk waterfall | |
| Little daybreaker, she's a shootin' like a cannonball | |
| Crazy like a rocket when you're coming through my radio | |
| Kept me in your bed till the wintertime through the fall | |
| Fall time come, and I guess my little bird can sing | |
| Come on Elizabeth, come on a Bethany | |
| Come on forever, I'm tired and I want to sleep | |
| My little dove flew, and I'm guessing she was done with me | |
| Said you didn't love me, it was right on time, I was just about to tell you, but ok, alright | |
| Said you didn't love me, it didn't want a thing, English girls can be so mean | |
| But ohh, look at you now | |
| Ohh, look at you now | |
| Mmmm, best I've ever seen | |
| Just a tall drink of water, just a-pourin' on down the sink | |
| Kissed me on the lips when my heart just slept it off | |
| Words may move, but there never moving fast enough | |
| Celebrate the differences, I celebrate the songs you sing | |
| Just three words, my love: you meant everything | |
| You meant everything | |
| You meant everything | |
| You meant everything |
