You and I are victims of a love
|
That lost a lot in the translation
|
When I think of all the time that I spent
|
Sitting on the edge of your bed in anticipation
|
Of you giving in and us living in sin
|
|
A hot day, the smell of hairspray
|
And the sound of a shower running softly
|
It's things like this that remind me of how I felt
|
The first time you came back for coffee
|
The way you took it amazed me
|
|
Walking in the park, kissing in the dark
|
And my head against your pillow
|
Late at night a lover sings
|
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
|
I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
|
|
There is no real substitute
|
For a ball struck squarely and firmly
|
And you're the kind of girl who wants to
|
open up the bottle of pop
|
Too early in the journey
|
Our love went flat just like that
|
|
It doesn't matter the colour of the car
|
But what goes on beneath the bonnet
|
Is there a flag that flies above your heart
|
And is my name writ there upon it
|
Wedding cake and toothache
|
Equals love and pain
|
|
Walking in the park, kissing on the carpet
|
And your tights around your ankles
|
Late at night a lover thinks of these things
|
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
|
I say Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
|
Adam and Eve are finding out all about
|
Adam and Eve are finding out all about love
|
Teresa and Steve are finding out all about love
|
