This is a good resource for me to refer to next time my son asks me why songs are always in an American accent.
Here’s another one: Carter USM - The Only Living Boy in New Cross.
Except, what Brit would sing about “A Gallon of Gas”? 
I was going to mention the eponymous ‘Kids in Bristol’. But it turns out they’re Pennsylvanians.
Or “Friday Night” where she sings about getting in to a “queue” outside a club after the pubs have closed at 11:00.
For something more recent, how about The Streets? It took me a while to even understand what he was saying in Don’t Mug Yourself.
Really? Which album?
Anyway, I’ve always found The Pet Shop Boys’s West End Girls, and Dire Straits’s The Sultans of Swing to be pretty quintessentially Limey.
Queen - “Brighton Rock” no scratch that - “The Faery-Feller’s Master Stroke.” And “Seaside Rendezvous.” So adorable.

Really? Which album?The original 1970 Apple release of Let It Be, which was filled with such odd little outtakes. “Maggie Mae” not to be confused with the similarly named Rod Stewart hit sounded like an old Liverpool song done in a broad Scouse accent. I could not make out many intelligible English words until I saw the printed lyrics. So the less I can understand, the more British it is.
Jethro Tull is rock ‘n’ roll, but trad folkie is ethnic by definition i’nnit? Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Linda Thompson, Pentangle, etc. go without saying. And that’s just England… Scots folk is another whole world itself… I listen to the Thistle & Shamrock every week, that’s all I’m going to say about it.
Somehow that reminded me of Roy Harper - you don’t get more English than songs about cricket.
How about “I’m Henry the Eighth, I Am” as performed by Herman’s Hermits? An old music hall song, referencing an English king (well, sorta), and delivered in a very English accent. Hard to get more British than that.
And as for singing in an English accent, I’d say Billy Bragg takes the cake.
Let It Be, Track #7.
But don’t be too confused – it’s not the same song as the one performed by Rod Stewart (which is probably what you’re thinking of), which is spelled Maggie May.
