Piccadilly |
She’s not a picture above somebody’s fire |
She sits in a towel with a purple hair dryer |
She waits to get even with me |
She hooks up her cupcakes and puts on her jumper |
Explains that she’ll be late to a worryin' mother |
She meets me in Piccadilly |
A begging folk singer stands tall by the entrance |
His song relays worlds of most good intentions |
A fiver a ten P in his hat for collection |
She talks about office, she talks about dresses |
She’s seen one she fancies her smile is impressing |
So maybe I’ll treat her someday |
We queue among strangers and strange conversation |
Love’s on the lips of all forms of engagements |
All queuing to see tonight’s play |
A man behind me talks to his young lady |
He’s happy that she is expecting his baby |
His wife won’t be pleased but she’s not been round lately |
The girl was so dreadful we left in a hurry |
Escaped in the rain for an Indian curry |
At the candle lit Taj Mahal |
My lips to a napkin, I called for a taxi |
The invite of eyes made it tense but relaxed me |
My mind took a devious role |
The cab took us home through a night I’d not noticed |
The neon club lights of adult films and Trini Lopez |
My arm around love but my acting was hopeless |
We crept like two thieves from the kettle to the fire |
We kissed to the sound of the silence that we’d hired |
Now captured, your love in my arms |
A door opened slightly a voice spoke in worry |
Mum went to bed without wind of the curry |
Our secret love made its advance |
Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple |
Loose change in my pocket, it started to rattle |
Her heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple |
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Loose change in my pocket it started to rattle |
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Her heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Like Adam and Eve we took bite on the apple |
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Loose change in my pocket it started to rattle |
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Her heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
Heart like a gun was just half of the battle |
