| When she first gave me coldsores
|
| On a park bench in Walsall
|
| I remember the feeling
|
| As the last of the light
|
| Dripped with might
|
| From the palms of the evening
|
| Like a psalm on the ceiling
|
| Of her home, of her home
|
| I love those common things I do with her
|
| TV at six o’clock is de rigueur
|
| Don’t need to fall apart to works of art
|
| Don’t speak no Portuguese in the dark
|
| And we can’t be romantic
|
| Cos we don’t live in France yet
|
| Get our kicks from the frantic
|
| Little movements of feet
|
| As I gallivant she keeps an atlas
|
| Sleeping under the mattress
|
| So I’m home, so I’m home
|
| Don’t need to run along to Chittagong
|
| Don’t need to get to Delhi or Geelong
|
| Don’t need to throw a coin into a fountain
|
| Don’t need to digress in the Spanish Mountains
|
| Don’t need to trek from Santander to Bilbao
|
| When I’ve got this better way to find out how
|
| Cos I love those common things,
|
| I love those common things,
|
| I love those common things,
|
| I love those common things. |
