Testo Standard English - The Stiffs
Testo della canzone Standard English (The Stiffs), tratta dall'album Demos and Rarities 1978 - 1981
Model yourself on a
BBC newsreader
I think you think you are
Morally superior
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
We don't speak correctly
Our accents are phoney
Our voices let us down
Because they do not sound
Like Standard English
Standardised English
Like Standard English
Standardised English
Standard English, we don't speak English
If we don't put on airs and graces
I think you think we are
Morally inferior
Our meanings are oblique
Because we do not speak
A Standard English
Standardised English
Like Standard English
Standardised English
Since language is a form
Of communication
And since we do succeed
Then we need not conform
To Standard English
Standardised English
Like Standard English
Like Standard English
Standard English, we don't speak English
If we don't put on airs and graces
Standard English, we don't speak English
If we don't put on airs and graces
