(Heaton/Rotheray). It's 6.00am and even Big Ben. Is trying to get his head down for a kip. But no sooner is it down. And then it's on with dressing gown.
Head over heels is fine. Unless you're in stilettos. Love knows no boundaries. Unless your in one of loves ghettos. Love climb every mountain high. But some of us are stuck in a cell.
Water the plants, feed the cat. Leave that door key under the mat. I'm your number one from now on. . Set the code, close the door. You don't live there anymore.
(Heaton/Rotheray). Build your dream castle out of sand. It's bound to get washed up anyway. Dream your dreams out of last week. They're bound to have come up yesterday.
Well the dice that i roll never seems to land on six. And that 48 card pack is short of some of my old tricks. The horse i bet on all those years ago.
It doesn't take a mathematician. To add a simple sum. Either you are simply beautiful. Or I am simply dumb. . Dumb dumb dumb. (Aah aaa). Dumb dumb dumb.
(Heaton/Rotheray). Only buy this if you're lonely. Only listen if you're blue. If you are married and you are happy. This song is not to do with you. .
Think of you with pipe and slippers. Think of her in bed. Laying there just watching telly. Think of me instead. . I'll never grow so old and flabby. That could never be.
(Heaton/Rotheray). Through ugly pints and Sunday breath. Sit men whose stare is cold as death. Through wide lapels and glued up eyes. Through made up kids and made up wives.
Well, I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open. And it made me long for little last night. Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet. But a sweet worth every bite.
Well I always knew you'd take the crutches. and not the skis. 1 always knew you'd take the stilts. and then your knees. When God gave you the sky. I knew you'd take the trees.
(Heaton/Rotheray). Big coin that you toss for heads or tails. Big coin that you let slip down the drain. Big coin didn't find where it landed. Big coin, big coin.
(Heaton/Rotheray). Eyes to take you dancing. mouth to leave your wife. Legs to run away with. and you wonder why?. . Heart that makes you bypass. every other girl.
My pod is bigger than your pod. My life is bigger than your life. My mouth is bigger than your mouth. Your age is bigger than my age. Your height, my height.
Don't think of what we can and can't achieve. Perfection like this can't be guaranteed. Hearts get lost... lovers leave. Lets just see what friendship actually needs.
You've heard it said a thousand times. But only heard his Broadway lines. So, baby please go. Ain't, ain't part of the show. . 'Cause when Romeo needs no cue or prompt.
(Heaton/Rotheray). Like the contents of your handbag. You don't know why it's there. People ask you where you're heading. You just answer "anywhere". .
Planning permission tied to post. We read when we're waiting for bus. Is always double-checked 'cause we so often suspect. They plan to build something on us.
Guard your body with the best barbed wire. And ward off foe with the fiercest of fire. But let love unguarded into the strangest of nights. . Wear your dresses like they're up for hire.
The part of love that I'm scared of. is the actual taking off. I can take a bumpy landing. But the start must be soft. soft, soft, soft. It must be soft.
