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 would be living down here on my own
on that damp and lonely thursday years ago
