Love |
| In 1985, me and Michelle — we used to sit on the steps |
| Next |
| To |
| The bigger kids playground |
| They played football |
| British Bulldog |
| We held hands until the bell went |
| But that’s as far as I remember |
| Till |
| One September |
| Maybe 7, 8 |
| I arrived a little late |
| To my first day at my new school |
| I thought I was really cool! |
| But how happily children hate |
| Soon I didn’t feel so great |
| Didn’t take 2 seconds, of the lesson, to berate |
| My magic jumper |
| It said magic on it |
| Might as well have said tragic on it |
| I declared my love for little Debbie |
| And the children laughed en masse |
| Teacher had to calm the class |
| Later find me on the grass |
| Underneath some giant kid called Jonathan’s ass |
| Sunday grief and mass |
| Wishing for washing machines |
| Scenes were many |
| I was very — shall I say passionate? |
| That might be pushing it |
| Honestly — more of a show off — |
| Desperately wanting to go off with Ellie — |
| Have many adventures, like in them books |
| I offered to lend her |
| Anne Of Green Gables gave me the wrong idea — |
| Girls just weren’t like that |
| And I couldn’t find her |
| Louisa Alcott got me building castles in the clouds |
| And I’d have tussles with the crowds |
| Because my shirts were loud |
| Because my hair as long |
| Because I bleached it blonde |
| LOVE |
| All I ever really wanted was to have somebody say |
| That I was all they ever wanted in this world and that was |
| LOVE |
| I wore my heart upon my sleeve |
| In such a way you wouldn’t believe |
| Beneath those velvet skies at night |
| I might be trite |
| I might be |
| LOVE |
| Despite the spite I didn’t pander |
| To them twats in Lower Bangor |
| Still looked like some Western Manga |
| Joined the drama club — |
| Miranda I met there and most couldn’t stand her |
| She had long hair, eyes like a Panda |
| Miranda rhymed best with «veranda» |
| But we never found one to stand her |
| Up on top of |
| And I rang her |
| Every night for, like, 3 months |
| And people took the piss |
| BUT! |
| We were in love — the most love! |
| Walked around Anglesey mountains hand in hand |
| Miranda, me, and man — |
| Rwanda was as real to us a as Santa Claus |
| Because we was just kids in love |
| 14 and a little bit — |
| Miranda’s stand a little bit above me |
| It to I had to hand her — |
| After six months, I couldn’t stand her |
| Anymore |
| And I was bored |
| So Miranda I ignored |
| I stayed in bed and there I planned to |
| Do away with my Miranda |
| No more rhyming with veranda |
| I’m an island — here’s my sand |
| I can’t keep track of all the grains — |
| And if it rains, I can’t swear that I’ll stay the same, Miranda |
| But it’s still the same, Miranda |
| I might have got a little blander |
| A little closer now to flanders |
| But in the grander scheme of things, Miranda |
| There aren’t queens and kings |
| There’s only matter, Miranda |
| And it doesn’t really matter… |
| LOVE |
| All I ever really thought I wanted |
| Apart from when I got it |
| Then I’d plunder stuff |
| And wonder if I really was in love |
| You’re not supposed to fake it — |
| You’re supposed to make it |
| Hit the post and break it |
| When it’s time to take it, naked |
| Baby I know love! |
| It’s in the movies, songs and books |
| But if we move these songs and look |
| There’s nothing in the way |
| And you can find something to say but… |
| All I ever really wanted was to have somebody say |
| That I was all they ever wanted |
| In this word |
| And that |
| Was |
| Love |
