| She’s the girl with the long scarf flowing,
|
| corduroy coat and lips so loving
|
| Nights got shorter and her dreams got longer,
|
| so strange
|
| Has a bird upon her shoulder
|
| Used to hear it when I got to hold her
|
| I don’t know if that bird song died
|
| Kill the lights, 'cause we’re getting older
|
| Watch the news and drink more water
|
| She likes a man with his trousers shorter
|
| I’m in trouble with a poet’s daughter
|
| Found a hole and it’s letting in water
|
| She says love is a young man’s game
|
| Close your eyes, we might just make it
|
| Pretty soon you’ll be proud to fake it
|
| Drink up, baby, and I’ll take you home
|
| Boy at the bus stop shouting
|
| English dreams of English louting
|
| I hope he’s happy when the world stops hurting
|
| Paints all the clocks and sleeps for days,
|
| stares at the stars and floats away
|
| Watch the news and drink more water
|
| I’m in trouble with somebody’s daughter
|
| She likes a man with his trousers shorter
|
| Paints all the clocks and sleeps for days
|
| Stares at the stars and floats away |
