Lyrics

Well, I told her that I thought life’s too short
And we really should go for a ride
Paul’s just phoned, the war’s postponed
So come on, I’ve got the Plymouth outside
The sky’s a bit dull but the fridge is full
Things could be a lot worse
It’s not like you’ve been captured by Barbary Corsairs
I said “Let’s head Winchester way”, she said “Been yesterday”
Twenty-seven yards of dental floss, and she still won’t give me a smile
Fired by wine, she was almost mine
‘Til a fight broke out in the bar
Third-Rate Les in his Burberry Fez
Had gone just a little too far
Nailing down his bailing wire
To the laminate floor
He sang a salty song about a girl from Bangalore
I said “Would you like to go the zoo?”, she said “Yeah, but not with you”
Twenty-seven yards of dental floss, but she still won’t give me a smile
I’m King Euphoria, she’s Queen Victoria
Twenty-seven yards of dental floss, and she still won’t give me a smile
I’m clowning by the Serpentine, she’s still drinking turpentine
Will she ever shine her light on me?

Well, I told her that I thought life' s too short
And we really should go for a ride
Paul' s just phoned, the war' s postponed
So come on, I' ve got the Plymouth outside
The sky' s a bit dull but the fridge is full
Things could be a lot worse
It' s not like you' ve been captured by Barbary Corsairs
I said " Let' s head Winchester way", she said " Been yesterday"
Twentyseven yards of dental floss, and she still won' t give me a smile
Fired by wine, she was almost mine
' Til a fight broke out in the bar
ThirdRate Les in his Burberry Fez
Had gone just a little too far
Nailing down his bailing wire
To the laminate floor
He sang a salty song about a girl from Bangalore
I said " Would you like to go the zoo?", she said " Yeah, but not with you"
Twentyseven yards of dental floss, but she still won' t give me a smile
I' m King Euphoria, she' s Queen Victoria
Twentyseven yards of dental floss, and she still won' t give me a smile
I' m clowning by the Serpentine, she' s still drinking turpentine
Will she ever shine her light on me?
