Platitudes |
| She knew a boy, he worked in admin |
| He didn’t like it but it kept his hand in |
| It kept him in rum and taxis |
| He did enough to make them notice |
| Every week just for twenty minutes |
| If she’d had her head down |
| He never missed a beat |
| He never failed to mention it |
| I know they’re just platitudes |
| But baby, who’s better at giving them to me than you? |
| I can’t think of anyone… |
| She lived at home and she worked in retail |
| She knew the devil was in the detail |
| And he was meticulous |
| She had a boyfriend, she had a boyfriend |
| She knew the small talk was rather ridiculous |
| But it came from the lips that she wanted to kiss |
| So that, as they say, was that |
| (And she said) |
| I know they’re just platitudes |
| But baby, who’s better at giving them to me than you? |
| I can’t think of anyone… |
| And I know you’re a friend |
| To all the girls |
| But baby, as long as you sing to me, that’s fine |
| I don’t mind |
| I don’t mind |
