A Perfect Date |
| A perfect date to hesitate |
| I hope it won’t be too long |
| You’re a sucker for the punch |
| And the telegraph bells are ringing; |
| Now it’s coming to the crunch |
| As you stumble on the Jaffa Gate |
| I think you know how it happens on the stage |
| When the heavenly choir are singing — |
| You’ve been taken by a perfect date |
| You made the Mount of Venus your Jerusalem |
| You’re marking time as symbol for debate; |
| You hope to find some moment close to infinite |
| You hope to find a perfect date |
| A perfect date to hesitate |
| The future beckons us on |
| There comes a time to hesitate — |
| I hope it won’t be too long |
| You’re a sucker for the punch |
| And the telegraph bells are ringing; |
| Now it’s coming to the crunch |
| As you stumble on the Jaffa Gate |
| I think you know how it happens on the stage |
| When the heavenly choir are singing — |
| Yeah, you’ve been taken by a perfect date |
| You’ve been playing on a hunch |
| And the strings of your heart are zinging |
| Yeah, you cut loose from the bunch |
| But that doesn’t mean you’ve sealed your fate |
| I think you know how it happens |
| Though it’s strange, when the choir start singing: |
| You’ve been taken by a perfect date |
