Lyrics I'm From Further North Than You - The Wedding Present, David Gedge, Terry De Castro

I'm From Further North Than You

Then you said: «No, I’m not from the South
I am from further North than you!»
And with that you kissed me full on the mouth
And that was when I knew
You were either drunk or you wanted me
You know, either way I wasn’t going to disagree
But how did one crazy night turn into six weeks?
How can we be going out if neither of us speaks?
I think we’re the same in many ways
And I admit we had some memorable days…
But just not very many!
I just think that we both need more
And we can’t ignore how unhappy we were
I’d been abandoned by her
And you needed a friend
Alright, the night we walked into the sea
I guess that was OK
And when we bought that weird pornography
Yeah, that was a good day
First time I saw your red bikini
I just couldn’t help but stare
And when we counted planets in the sky
I was just happy you were there
I think we’re the same in many ways
And I admit we had some memorable days…
But just not very many!
I just think that we both need more
And we can’t ignore how unhappy we were
I’d been abandoned by her
And you needed a friend
