lyrics

You walked out of my dreams through the kitchen to me
Said, "Don't you find this quite existential"
I was hardly impressed but liked the way that you dressed
And your girl about town credentials

We kissed by the old parish church
And though I still can't believe it myself
You quoted Camille Paglia
Sang American songs in a voice that was almost praying
Night and day

Didn't see you for weeks, went through loves cold-turkey
In a sense yes I was addicted
Then right out of the blue, picked the phone up to you
Felt your horoscope had insisted

We met by the Charrington Pier
And though I still can't believe it myself
You quoted early Germaine Greer
Sang American songs in a voice that was hardly there

All my cards were aces hearts were wild in clubs we danced
All our time was spent discussing Hardy's sense of chance
Or instead, in my bed

You went travelling to Rome but in a year you were home
With a coin from the Trevi Fountain

We met by the old parish church
And though I still can't believe it myself
You were quoting Camille Paglia
When someone started ringing the bells

We kissed by the old parish church
Said the things that we'd known all along
Both quoting the simplest of words
You made me promise to write you a song
Or you'd be upset

And that's some threat
