Grouplove渀 Lyrics

Yeah the whistle blows
The sound of the whistle brings a sense of urgency and routine to the situation.

And it makes us tea and he wipes his nose
The Englishman performs routine tasks while making tea and wiping his nose before starting his day.

He's an Englishman
The subject of the song is an Englishman known for his idiosyncrasies.

And he's frying up in the frying pan
The Englishman is cooking up something in a frying pan, likely breakfast.

He's so sophisticate
Despite his eccentricities, the Englishman is cultured and worldly.

An he never on time, an he never late
The Englishman is neither punctual nor tardy.

'Cause he's sitting in the bath
The Englishman is taking a relaxing bath.

And he's making it hard and he's making it last
He is taking his time in the bath, trying to prolong his relaxation.

This is all news to me
The artist of the song is discovering or learning about these eccentricities for the first time.

Yeah I was wrapped up in a ball
The artist was consumed with themselves and not paying attention to the world around them.

And if you're living for something, something yeah
If one is passionate about something or has a goal, they may achieve it.

Then you might have it all
Achieving one's goals may lead to feeling fulfilled or satisfied.

Yeah he locks the door
The Englishman takes precautions by locking his door.

He does the things he's done before
The Englishman falls into a pattern of habits and actions.

Real pioneer
The Englishman is an unconventional individual who blazes his trail.

Tying on with nothing here?
It is unclear what the subject is referring to specifically, perhaps thinking aloud about his current situation.

There's a photograph
The Englishman keeps a photo in his wallet for sentimental reasons.

In his wallet, by his cash
The photo is placed in the same location where he keeps his money.

Of the girl he loves
The photo is of his significant other, whom he cares deeply about.

She's the one he's thinking of
The Englishman thinks of his love even when going about his daily routine.

And I don't know what's right
The artist is unsure what the right decision or course of action might be.

But if you've got love, let go
Despite uncertainty, the artist advises listeners to prioritize love and let go of fear or doubt.

He got a second chance
The Englishman has had an opportunity to start anew.

If you're thinking that nothing, is something yeah
If one believes that something small or insignificant can still have value or meaning, it can bring positivity to their life.

Then you already fall
Failure is inevitable if one fails to acknowledge the value in small things or moments.
