“U.K. Girls” is an electronic, midtempo dance song about sex. The song started being performed on the Felt Mountain Tour to pad out the setlist and to satisfy their need to let loose a bit on stage:
Alison Goldfrapp:
We toured Felt Mountain for a year and a half. That was great, but we only had on...
[Verse 1]
U.K. Girls like groping
Boys like daddy
You could chassé
'Til you get some
Make me happy
Make me feel good
You could love me
[Chorus]
Let's get physical, physical
I want to get physical
Lets get into physical
Let me hear your body talk
Your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
I want to get physical, physical
I want to get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk
Your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
[Verse 2]
Chassé, make me happy
Make me feel good
You could sizzle
Watch me watching
Watch you chassé
Make me feel good
Make me happy
[Chorus]
Let's get physical, physical
I want to get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk
Your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
I want to get physical, physical
I want to get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk
Your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
[Chorus]
Let's get physical, physical
I want to get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk
Your body talk
Let me hear your body talk
I want to get physical, physical
I want to get physical
Let's get into physical
Let me hear your body talk
Your body talk
Let me hear your body talk

Will Gregory answered this on Choler Magazine:
Well, I think we both feel about covers that, if you’re going to do one, you shouldn’t do your favorite tune, because it’s been done so well originally. There’re a lot of great covers, but there are also…. If I were to say, “Let’s do “The Look of Love”...
