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 end of your bed in anticipation
Of you giving in and us living in sin
ย
A hot day, the smell of hairspray and
The sound of a shower running softly
It's things like this that remind me how I
Felt the first time you came back for coffee
The way you took it amazed me
ย
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 a 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 thereupon it?
Wedding cake and toothache equals love and pain
ย
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
Theresa and Steve are finding out all about love
