Cocker / Senior / Mackey / Doyle / Banks

Y’know, sometimes, when we’re lying together, and I know you’re asleep, I can hear the soft sound of your breathing. So I get up. And I go to the window. Outside I can see all the houses - curtains shut tight against the night, asleep beneath the roof tiles.  And as I stand there I wonder, I wonder how many more times I’m gonna come here, I wonder how many more times I’m gonna lie here. But most of all, most of all I wonder, I wonder what it means. I just wanna know what it means.

So I woke her, and we went walking through the sleeping town, down deserted streets, frozen gardens grey in the moonlight, fences, down to the canal, creeping slowly past the cooling towers, deserted factories, looking for adventure. I wander the streets calling your name, jumping walls, hoping to see a light in your window. Let me in, let me come in, let me in tonight. I see you shivering in the garden, silver gooseflesh in the moonlight.

She’s balancing, there are so many others with unbroken eyes, no cellulite afternoons and she is balancing, balancing on the edge of ugliness tonight, she is balancing, good God.

My Legendary Girlfriend, she is crying tonight

Oh no she doesn’t feel right, she’s got no one to hold

Her love is a sham, he is dancing somewhere

Oh no he doesn’t care, oh and he’ll never know.

Touch me, now, oh I don’t care, ‘cos tonight, you know we could, maybe we, maybe we could touch the sky, d’you think we could, do you think that we could touch the sky? Please. I know, I know it’s not forever, tonight. I don’t care, your skin so pale

in the moonlight and the way your lips swirl up when you’re asleep, nothing else matters.

Do you know how much I want you?

Can you feel how much I want you?

Oh, Pitsmoor Woman, oh let, oh let me in tonight!

(Chorus)

And all the stars came out tonight

And the moon came on his face

It shone right through the clothes she wore

It shone right through the dress she wore

Good God, oh y’know, listen, listen, please,

I just wanna, I just wanna, you don’t understand,

It’s not like that anymore, please, please,

I just wanna, I just wanna

He falls asleep again, no cheese tonight, she knows.

 (Chorus) 

And oh the stars came out tonight

And the moon came on his face

It shone right through the dress she wore

It shone right through the clothes she wore

And the sun and the moon and the stars all came out today

Oh, please love me tonight

Good God now.
