Welly (band) - Soak Up The Culture
Copied!edit Lyrics
★ Verse 1 ★
All…
Over the world go English girls on their gap years
Trying to find some space between their self-pierced ears
Departing St. Martins carting bargain states of mind
They say
"Je voudrais good time!"
"D’ya know the way to Berghain?’
"My names Holly, I’m from Crawley, and I’m looking for the good wine!"
Hair like a sculpture
Visa like a vulture
Head just like a sponge
Soak up the culture, now!
Soak up the culture
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-now!
★ Verse 2 ★
British Boys leave British soil to find their fears
Apart from skiing they haven’t been abroad in years
"Ciao Bella!" thеy say
"Yeah yeah, ciao Bella, I’m such a nicе fella!"
"My name’s Matthew
Tell me all about you
D’ya wanna come and be sick
In my hotel bathroom?"
Unpack your morals for Jack Kerouac’s novels
Soak Up The Culture, now
Soak Up The Culture, no-ow!
★ Bridge ★
Soak Up The Culture, now
Soak Up The Culture
Soak Up The Culture, now
Soak Up The Culture
Soak Up The Culture, now
Soak Up The Culture, now
Soak Up The Culture, nowwww!
★ Outro ★
Suburban child, so meek and mild, might run away
Heard "libertié, egalitié, and motorway"
Posing for exposure on Holiday in Cambodia!
So Soak…
Up…
The Culture…
Now!
All…
Over the world go English girls on their gap years
Trying to find some space between their self-pierced ears
Departing St. Martins carting bargain states of mind
They say
"Je voudrais good time!"
"D’ya know the way to Berghain?’
"My names Holly, I’m from Crawley, and I’m looking for the good wine!"
Hair like a sculpture
Visa like a vulture
Head just like a sponge
Soak up the culture, now!
Soak up the culture
N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-now!
★ Verse 2 ★

Song Description:
edit soundcloud"Soak Up The Culture" by Welly is a satirical take on the stereotypical behavior of young English travelers exploring the world. The song paints a picture of English girls on gap years, English boys venturing abroad for the first time, and suburban children seeking adventure. The lyrics poke fun at their search for self-discovery, their obsession with soaking up different cultures, and their sometimes naive and misguided attempts at fitting in. The catchy chorus and energetic bridge drive home the message of embracing and experiencing new cultures, even if it means being a bit ridiculous in the process. Overall, "Soak Up The Culture" is a fun and lively commentary on the quirks and foibles of young travelers seeking adventure and enlightenment.
