Don't know any UK ones but there was a song in the 50s from the US called "How can you believe me when I tell you that I love when you know I've been a liar all my life"!

How about There's A Guy Works Down The Chipshop Swears He's Elvis by Kirsty MacColl?
Diana Ross also had a song with a long silly one-word title, something like Doobienoodooondooobie. |

This was never a hit single, but it's got a great title:-
"The Man Who Took The Valise Off The Floor At Grand Central Station At Noon" by She Trinity. |

Barry White had some long titles. His biggest hit was You're the First the Last My Everything. My fave song of his was Baby We'd Better Try to Get it Together.
A song I liked in 1998 was the Dandy Warhols' Not if You Were the Last Junkie on Earth. |
