Lyrics

[00:19.90] One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh, how the feeling races
[00:24.10] Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces
[00:28.36] They don't want to say hello but I can't want to say hello
[00:32.87] Well, my heartbeat's at its peak when you're coming up to speak
[00:37.47] And oh, I'm so tense, never tenser, could all go a bit Frank Spencer
[00:42.57] And I'm talking gibberish, tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it
[00:47.57] Properly, oh, it's all getting on top of me
[00:51.06] And if it weren't this dark you'd see how red my face has gone, yeah
[01:05.15] Everybody's trying to crack the jokes and that to make you smile
[01:09.34] Those that claim that they're not showing off are drowning in denial
[01:14.11] But they're not half as bad as me, say anything and I'll agree
[01:18.40] 'Cause when it comes to acting up, I'm sure, I could write the book
[01:22.59] And now that you're more than a part in the play
[01:26.78] It's slightly easier to think what to say
[01:32.17] You had us all standing on our heads
[01:36.70] Doing our best tricks, yeah
[01:50.84] Never again, never again
[01:54.39] Will there be another one quite as desirable as you?
[01:58.58] One look sends it coursing through the veins, oh, how the feeling races
[02:02.64] Back up to their brains to form expressions on their stupid faces
