Carol Ades - I Can't Wait to Be British

Told myself I’d get tattoos if I just had a flatter stomach
Said that I’d experiment, but only when I went to college
Yesterday I ate too much, today I think I’ll skip my dinner
Yeah I know I’m talented, but not as good as Phoebe Bridgers

Nothing ever really makes sense
I don’t want it all to make sense
Nothing ever really makes sense
I don’t like it when it makes sense

Dumb girl do you know what you’re saying?
Don’t talk so that I can explain to you
I know that you think that you’d be hotter with an English accent

Sad girl don’t you know you’re not happy?
Break down baby that’s just a part of you
You’re so smart but you sound crazy
Looking for the answer saying
Iiiiiiii
Can’t wait to be British

Swear I have my mothers eyes and share her sense of self delusion
She never saw how beautiful she is and it was so confusing
Nothing like invisible and made up rules you learn to follow
Once I get to London I’ll pretend that I do not have problems

‘Cause nothing ever really makes sense
And I don’t want it all to make sense
Nothing ever really makes sense
I don’t like it when it makes sense

Dumb girl do you know what you’re saying?
Don’t talk so that I can explain to you
I know that you think that you’d be hotter with an English accent

Sad girl don’t you know you’re not happy ?
Break down baby that’s just a part of you
You’re so smart but you sound crazy
Looking for the answer saying
Iiiiiiii
Can’t wait to be British

When you say that
Iiiiiiii
Can’t wait to be British
(Be British)

I’ll be happy and pretty and charming and skinny
Totally rich with my very own money
I’ll be so successful and humble and lucky
My boyfriend will love me and think that I’m funny
Sound like I’m wiser and look like I’m younger
Probably be better friends with my mother
I won’t be afraid of myself or the end
Even though what I say doesn’t make any sense

Nothing we say makes sense
(Nothing we say)
Nothing we say makes sense
Nothing we say makes sense
