The Full English

VOLUME V — the CURES, crawling back to life. The idiom and the song's title hook: "The Full English". Its true history: Britain — the heroic greasy fry-up of eggs, bacon, sausage, beans and toast; announce the feast. Render this beat of the night as the band's affectionate, funny, celebratory tribute — the idiom itself is the chorus hook.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen!
In the blue corner, weighing heavy with regret
It’s the undisputed victim of the Sunday sweat!

[Verse 1]
She took a beating in the early morning light
A twelve-round rumble with the spirits in her mind
Her knees are shaking and her temples took a hook
We need a miracle that only grease can cook
Bring out the iron, bring out the heavy skillet pan
The only medicine to save her trembling hand

[Chorus]
She needs The Full English!
Step into the ring with the bacon and the bread
The Full English!
To resurrect the glorious and walking dead
It’s a British institution, it’s a heavyweight plate
To conquer the wobble and set the record straight!

[Verse 2]
Let’s introduce the tag team coming down the floor
Two fried eggs staring like they wanna settle scores
We got the banger sausage, heavy on the grease
And baked beans swimming right against her aching teeth
An Edwardian tradition from a wealthy country sprawl
Now a greasy spoon lifesaver for the folks who took a spill

[Chorus]
For The Full English!
Step into the ring with the bacon and the bread
The Full English!
To resurrect the glorious and walking dead
It’s a British institution, it’s a heavyweight plate
To conquer the wobble and set the record straight!

[Bridge]
[Ding ding]
Round two! The hangover is on the ropes
The fried tomato delivers on our highest hopes
A solid jab of butter on a crispy piece of toast
This is the greasy salvation
That we needed the absolute most!

[Outro]
Raise her arm!
The champion returns!
Smell that victory in the fat.
Down for the count, but up for the tea
The Full English, the undisputed king of the remedy.
[Ding ding]
