She said meet me at the gates at 8
|
Leave now don't be late
|
She said one day she'd walk away cos I'm always late
|
Thought things were ok
|
Didnt care though anyway
|
Say sorry babe, I had to meet a mate, tempting fate
|
We first met through a shared view, she loved me and I did too
|
It's now 7:50 getting ready better be nifty
|
Do my hair quickly, step out it's cloudy
|
Mate bells me to borrow money, I got two Henry's and a dealer to pay
|
Call up on geezers to rid these green trees of my reeking jeans
|
Got a you think I care outglaring geezers stares
|
I'm here and I'm there
|
Couldn't see past the end of my beer
|
What was getting near, all the silence after the cheers
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
She said meet me at the gates
|
Don't be late, but pretty soon the day came for change
|
And I was glad she never walked away
|
So Im choosing what to wear, doing my hair with an hour to spare
|
When my life went pear, she'd been there with a thick stare
|
Big wheel climed to the top, geezer scares bounced off
|
Standing at the top of this huge mountain, smiling and shouting
|
Spring flowers sprouting, not one inch of doubt in my mind as I reached the gates
|
Came round the corner at a rate
|
Risked her love but Im gonna set things straight
|
Never again am I gonna be late
|
Never again am I gonna be late
|
Never again am I gonna be late
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I said meet me at the gates
|
Leave now don't be late
|
I waited for a while listening to her voicemail, mind set sail
|
Then the facts turned me pale, wind rain and hail
|
My fears unveiled, for my fair female
|
She'd walked away, too little too late
|
I step up the pace, walk past the gates, rain runs over my face
|
Spirit falls from grace
|
I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place in the chase
|
Sat down I got a fat frown
|
Weaping and drowning my senses
|
For this love game's expensive
|
I walk in a trance
|
Gort a wounded soldier stance
|
The everyday geezers stares throw me off balance
|
Now nothing holds significance
|
And nothing holds relavance
|
'Cause the only thing I can see is her elagance
|
