Lyrics
Michael:
It started on a weekend in May
I was looking for attention
Needed intervention
Felt somebody looking at me
With a powder white complexion
Feeling the connection
Calum:
The way she looked was so ridiculous
Michael:
Every single step
Had me waiting for
The next
Calum:
Before I knew it, it was serious
Michael:
Dragged me out the bar
To the backseat of a car
All:
When the lights go out
She’s all I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain
Kissing in the rain
I can’t forget my English love affair
Today, I’m seven thousand miles away
The movie playing in my head
Of her king size bed
Means I can’t forget my
English love affair
My English love affair
Luke:
Next thing we were back at her place
A hideaway in Mayfair
All he great and good there
Drinking all the way to third base
Princess getting naked
Falling on their faces
Calum:
The story line was so ridiculous
Luke:
Every single step had me begging
For the next
Calum:
Before I knew it, it was serious
Luke:
Dragged me up the stairs
And it wasn’t ending there
All:
When the lights go out
She’s all I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain
Kissing in the rain
I can’t forget my
English love affair
Today, I’m seven thousand miles
Away
The movie playing in my head
Of her king size bed
Means I can’t forget my English
Love affair
Ashton:
When I got out I knew that
Nobody I knew would be
Believing me
I look back now and know that
Nobody could ever take the memory
All (Calum Main Vocal):
When the lights go out, she’s
All I ever think about
The picture burning in my brain
Kissing in the rain
I can’t forget my
English love affair
Today, I’m seven thousand
Miles away
The movie playing in my head
Of her king size bed
Means I can’t forget my
English love affair
My English love affair
My English love affair
