ah
it never suited you
and they said that when we grew up
we’d get married and never split up
oh we never did it
although i often thought of it
oh deborah
do you recall?
your house was very small
with woodchip on the wall
when i came round to call
you didn’t notice me at all
and i said:
"let’s all meet up in the year 2000
won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown?
be there two o’clock by the fountain down the road."
i never knew that you’d get married
i would be living down here on my own
on that damp and lonely thursday years ago
you were the first girl at school to get breasts
and martyn said that you were the best
oh the boys all loved you
but i was a mess
i had to watch them try and get you undressed
we were friends and that’s as far as it went
i used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
oh it meant nothing to you
