(Parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided if you take a route straight through what is known as
(Parklife)
(Parklife)
Who's that gut lord marching?
You should cut down on your pork-life mate, get some exercise
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
Know what I mean?
(Parklife)
I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea and I think about leaving the house
(Parklife)
It gives me a sense of enormous well-being
(Parklife)
And then I'm happy for the rest of the day, safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
(Parklife)
Parklife
(Parklife)
(Parklife)
And it's not about you joggers
Who go round and round and round
(Parklife)
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
So many people
They all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
I agree this song is on american culture coming into Britain, but it also refers to a lot of the way people in the UK live out their lives. "Morning soup" is refering to the polluted smog around London, and the line "John's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the pigeons they love a bit of it" is probly about a drunk who's still drunk in the morning waking up to find pigeons pecking at him for food, sounds funny but they do love a bit of it! The song sounds to me like a piss-take reflection on how average Joe Bloggs lives out his life in central cockney London
You may want to look up the definition of brewers droop lol

a Pulp-ish piss take on English suburban living.
agreed. Damon said it was about how the British are becoming too Americanised
brewers droop is when, after courting a lady in your drinking establishment, you wish to take her home. Now, when the time comes for you to introduce her to your little General it, unfortunately, does not want to stand to attention. Thus, brewers droop is your little solider remaing flaccid, rather than turgid.
geddit?
Nicely put!

yeah i advise u watch 'live forever' brilliant dvd, damion himself said it was about how american culture was comeing in to britain. Damion: "plastic mouldings and fun pubs really anoyed me, you just rip evrything out and replaced it with crap"
I always thought brewer's droop was when you have too much to drink and can't get it up.
I'm British - is that not what it means?
like the tune and the accent he uses. it sounds like porklife, not parlife.
Spot on!!! I think that is kind of deliberate. I think the song is about fat people, porky people..............Porklife!!!!

I think this song is encouraging us all to live together in harmony despite all of our differences, and the park represents the world all the people share.
No it is "morning soup". I've got the Parklife alnum and inside the leaflet the lyrics say "morning soup". However, you are right on one thing, it makes no sense. I know what this song is about, having a go at americanisation (like many of their songs), yet i have no idea what the lyrics mean. I assume "parklife" means "american life" but there arecertain lyrics which just don't seem to mean anything. e.g. "John's got brewers droop..." There are lyrics however which can totally be adapted to the "having a go at americanisation" like the "gut lord marching" line, obviously taking the piss out of obesity which seems to be popular in america. I think the second verse talks about what english people should be doing, e.g. "have a cup of tea..." (a very english thing to do) and "feed the pidgeons". But as i said before, most of this song doesn't make direct sense.
