He's my boyfriend but he treats me so mean and so cruel. He's always fighting the kids in my class after school. Mama told my papa I can't see him no more.
I walked down by the river where we used to go. And underneath the bridge where we first kissed. The old town that we knew is dead and gone, gone. The sickly sun shines grayly through the mist.
Your name froze on the winter air. An empty bench in Soho Square. Forgotten, now I turn away. Just save me for a rainy day. But don't be sorry, I don't want to hear it, baby.
If you don't open your eyes then you're gonna get hurt. 'Cause she keeps telling you lies, she's just a full time flirt. Now I know I don't count no more but you're the one I still care for.
And so she left her room. In her satin shoes she was down. He held her by the waist. In a fond embrace she spins round. Oh those silken lips. Soft and pink, aching to be kissed.
I brush my teeth, I dry my hair. I put on skimpy underwear. And I ride. To hell and back. Yeah I ride. Carving up the nation. Or the nearest service station.
There's an old jack crooning on my new TV. So I go out for a quiet drink. But it costs a packet and it's such a racket. That I can't hear myself think.
He's finding out life is never what it seems. She's finding doubt is replacing all her dreams. She's trying to pretend she's still in love just like before.
Just a perfect day. Drink Sangria in the park. And then later. When it gets dark, we go home. . Just a perfect day. Feed animals in the zoo. Then later.
He was a stranger in London at night. And he felt alone so he followed a light. Into a bar where the music was loud. He ordered a pint and got lost in the crowd.
I'm a lucky girl. I've got lots of friends to keep me company. When I need them around. They know my number and they call on me. So I just didn't miss you at all.
I'm staying home this evening. And playing my guitar. And all the time I'm strumming. I'm wondering where you are. . Oh yes, I know it's over. I know I shouldn't care.
I hear the lines on the telegraph. Buzz in my head. I have to shut them out. My ears to the ground. But I try to stand up. And straighten out. Forget my doubt.
Baby, baby won't you. Won't you tell me. Tell me the one good thing about love. Oh I need to know now. . Baby, tell me the one good thing about love. Oh I need to know now.
I must have been driving all day. But I'm getting no further away. All these towns look the same in the night. And the rain is falling in my eyes. . Take me away.

(kirsty maccoll/pete glenister). . All it took was the time it takes. To smoke a cigarette or jam on the brakes. I nearly had it in my hands and now it's gone.
(kirsty maccoll/mark e.nevin). . When I was just a child. My folks would drive me wild. They'd spy upon my every move. Until it drove me to despair. They told me what to wear.
It's no use knocking on my door. I won't be answering any more. So don't come round here like you did before. I'm moving out, no doubt about it. . Take the video.
