What’s Big In England Now?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Okay, so I'm standing on the lip of a volcano in Bali Kramer's there and we're shooting the new Bongwater video And an old style ambulance pulls up and— *telephone ring* What? Can you get that? Get that! [Verse 2] Anyway, out steps that aging, pudgy editor from Rolling Stone And he hands me that... oh what? You know... a Pucci! Pucci tie-dyed unitard? And I went, "Oh, come on, no more camp!" I sob, "I hate it!" [Verse 3] Anyway, we make our way into the valley below And the scenery is spectacular It's like a painting right out of the Hudson Valley River School And I am awestruck There's a bar at the top of the next peak But, you know, I don't wanna drink "Come on! Come on!" someone's cajoling "It's grappa!" [Verse 4] And I think, "Wait a minute Isn't that the drink the Portuguese guzzle by the truckload?" *Dogs barking* What? No! Stop that! Let Sparky out! Let him out! Get out! All of you, out! [Verse 5] Anyway, I drive the car down the mountain road And it's so icy, so icy But, you know, I get back home And in the loft I find Lenny Kravitz sitting cross-legged on the parquet floor Reading the latest issue of NME He's wearing this transparent skullhood over his head Which I find more than a little creepy [Verse 6] Anyway, I ask him, "What's big in England now?" "Hmm," he replies, still reading the paper "Mushy peas" "Oh, come on, I know that," I sigh with petulant exasperation "That's yesterday! I mean, what's really new? What's tomorrow? What's going on? What's happening? I mean.... agh!" [Verse 7] He doesn't answer, so I I just engage in some codependent, twelve-step jargon jibber-jabber With some of my old friends from AA
