Sun Kil Moon UK Blues lyrics

Arrived in Helsinki, tired and sticky
My body hit the bed, I almost fell dead
Got to the venue, they ink-stamped my wrist, waitress asked me
Mark, meat or white fish?
Got up on the stage, the sound it was ok
But I struggled like a marlin on an unlucky day
Tried a few new songs, they looked at me like what?
Where's Katy's Song, Mistress, Grace Cathedral Park?

Finland, Finland, so many trees, John Denver would be pleased
Finland, Finland, cold as ice but waitress she was nice

Met a Finn after, she was thin like a waif
Big viking stepped in, big old...
Went back to my room, alone and I cried
been a year to the day, that my Kate Kat died
Left Helsinki , next stop was our house
A taxi two airplanes and a fucking shuttle bus

Denmark, Denmark, everybody's white
Everyone rides bikes
Denmark, Denmark, everyone rides bikes
Everybody's white

Left for London via Copenhagen, for a concert in the park at 1:30pm
Got upon the stage, people gathered round
Retro 80's band drownded out my sound
went and got my check, went back to my room
Feeling suicidal, feeling full of gloom
Turned on the tv, there was rioting & stuff...

As if this city isn't depressing enough

London, London, it's all the rage
If your favorite color's beige
London, London, look right, look left
makes me think of death

Off to Manchester, then to Bristol
Had a show on a boat, it was half full
Guy in the front, heckled me all night
His skin was sickly mix of grey, pink and white
Went back to my room, more riots on the news
Home sick as fuck, got the UK blues

Bristol, Bristol, cobble stone streets
People missing teeth
Bristol, Bristol, is this really what
People eat
Then to Belfast, had to catch a plane,
To get there fast
Had to get a room, had to change my clothes
Had to change my strings, check my sound and play a show
Had to meet some friends, had to take a bath
Had to catch a flight, going home at last

Belfast, Belfast, out the taxi window cows sleeping in the grass
Belfast, Belfast, out the taxi window cows sleeping in the grass
