Forget all the work of the week and all things you don't need
And all the rubbish that comes with living
Forget all my million failings, what I did through the railings
Look at me now and be certain
'cause maybe, maybe, maybe has a strange effect on me
Maybe, maybe, maybe is so dull
Forget all the safe compromises, all that characterizes
What's so wrong with the way we're living
Forget all obvious virtues, all the people who've hurt you
Look at me now and be certain
'cause maybe, maybe, maybe has a strange effect on me
Maybe, maybe, maybe is so dull
Discard all the politicising, all that clouds your horizon
And all the people who told you never
Forget all the mistakes that we'll make and all the wrong turns that we'll take
Just look at me now and be certain
'cause maybe, maybe, maybe has a strange effect on me
Maybe, maybe, maybe is so dull
Can't we just look at ourselves and be happy with what we see
Don't say maybe, maybe
Lets start all over again, lets begin by saying YES!
Yes to Lennon and McCartney, Neil Young, Nancy, Edwyn and Mark E.
Yes to the noise when the stock market crashes
Yes to England regaining the Ashes
Yes, yes, yes to the love that she knows I am feeling,
Yes to the dress and the bells all John Peeling
Yes to the colour that autumn is bring
Yes to remembering the next line I'm singing
Yes to the sunshine and yes to the rain
Yes to believing in something again
Yes to protecting the whales in the sea
And yes, yes, yes do you yes, yes love me?
YES
