A Lover Sings

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
