Song Review
I’ve got another tune for everyone today, coming from the Canadian indie-rock band Tokyo Police Club. Your English Is Good was originally released as a stand-alone single in 2007 and was subsequently included on the band’s first LP Elephant Shell. Forming in Newmarket Ontario, the band worked their way through the ranks in Ontario and Quebec before being asked to perform at the Pop Montreal music festival. Shortly after they signed with Paper Bag Records.
Oh, give us your vote
Give us your vote
If you know what’s good for you
Oh, give us your vote
Give us your vote
If you know what’s good for you
These are the lines
That we straighten every year
And it’s the second time
They mapped the constillations
And they sift for you by night
In the depth …
Still trying to find stripes
Injustice is my middle name
‘Cuz you dont need to change
Your future is with us
You dont need to change
Your future is with us
You look a wreck
Left your key inside the door
And my ripple chest
Across this black and white chess board
Your English is good
We can see it in your bones
In this neighbourhood
We ‘aint driving you home
‘Cuz you dont need to change
Your future is with us
You dont need to change
Your future is with us
Oh, give us your vote
Give us your vote
Your English is good
Your English is good
