So lately, I've been listening to a lot of British bands (The Stone Roses, The Beatles, Babyshambles, Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Jamie T, Oasis, Blur ... list goes on) and I was thinking ...
What songs to you are the most British? (Lyrics wise)
For me, I'd have to say: Arctic Monkeys - From The Ritz To The Rubble.

Bring Me The Horizon. Heart of Yorkshire right there =P

Well, I'm not British, but if global warming continues, I'd say "Octopus's Garden" will be quite fitting.
"London Underground" sums up one aspect...
Iron Maiden - The Trooper. It's about the charge of the lgiht brigade in the Crimean war, check it out.
There goes a Tenner - Kate Bush

Oh yeah.

I'm not saying all of you are chimney sweeps, there are also nannies....right?
Gabanuka:
There's nothing more British than this, so that's the end I guess.
I love most of Queen's stuff, though none of the lyrics have stuck me as overly British, but we all know it as British (with the awesome Asian frontman - yep, Freddie was raised in India).

No. Wrong. That would be like me saying you're all fat and are rednecks... o.O
Being Scottish,
Its gotta be Travis, why does it always rain on me...

Seeing how you didn't give a time-frame, absolutely I could. Might take a few months, but I don't know since I have no clue what the f*ck a 'stone' is. How much is 13 stone?
Scout-V:
This. Also, "I Predict a Riot" (...Bah I can't remember the band. British Indie runs into each other for me!) and "God Save the Queen" (Sex Pistols version)
I also used to have the opening monologue to Trainspotting remixed into a dance track that was pretty much British

13 stone is a lot. Average people are under 13 stone. So, you'll probably be eating a bit less than your own weight

Also, you win. Kaisers + Travis = (L).
"Anarchy in the UK"
I call this song.
This sums us up rather nicely

"A lot" isn't a unit of measurement. How much is 1 stone, then I'll multiply it by 13.
This thread lacks Monty Python.

Try using some initiative and use Google. Don't rely on someone else to prove how intolerant you are. A lot of Americans I know don't even know what the Pound is ... £ = One of them.
Any of Reverend and the Makers' album, 'The State Of Things'. I'm actually going to see them at my university in a couple of weeks time :D
Anyway, that album deals mainly with life in Britain, more specifically Sheffield, where the lead guy Jon Mclure hails from.

Sorry, but I do use google. I just didn't find it that important to find out for myself. Not to mention that google is for teh pr0nz anyway and not for an education :p
Detonation-Trivium.
While I hate that song, it uses the words "Barren wasteland" and I feel that describes Birmingham very well.

Very good, sir. I still love them for "Heavyweight Champion Of The World" If that is the name of the song, I just know I like it.
