She said it was just a figment of speech
|
And I said "You mean figureAnd she said "No, figment
|
Because she could never imagine it happening. But it did
|
|
When we first met I played the Shy boy
|
When she spoke to me for the first time my nose began to bleed
|
She guessed the rest
|
|
The next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry
|
And when nobody came to collect our fares
|
Well I knew then this was something special
|
I couldn't stop thinking about her
|
And every time I switched on the radio
|
There was somebody else singing a song about the two of us
|
|
It was just like being on a fast ride at the fun fair
|
The sort you want to get off because its scary
|
And then as soon as you're off you want get straight back on again
|
But all love is strange
|
And you have to learn to take the crunchy with the smooth I suppose
|
|
She began going out with Mr. Potato Head
|
It was when I saw her in he car park
|
With his coat around her shoulders that I realized
|
I went home and thought about the two of them together
|
Until the bathwater went cold around me
|
I thought about her eyes and the curve of her breasts
|
And about the point where their bodies met
|
|
I confronted her about it
|
I said, "I'm the most illegible bachelor in town!" and she said "Yeah that's why I
|
could never understand any of those silly letters you sent me"
|
And then one day it happened
|
She cut her hair and I stopped loving her
