| (I said) | |
| Down at the street around half past nine | |
| I heard someone scream | |
| I found someone dying | |
| His throat was slit from ear to ear | |
| He mumbled so low I could hardly hear | |
| I bent down low so I could hear what he said | |
| He said tell me the truth am I nearly that dead | |
| I said you're close as you'll ever be | |
| Oh yeah you're as close as you'll ever be | |
| Down on the beach around half past five | |
| I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining | |
| A grin split her face from ear to ear | |
| I went up close I must have got too near | |
| 'Cause I never saw the guy on the sea-front cafe | |
| Leaving his seat come and running my way | |
| Saying you're close as you'll ever be | |
| Oh yeah you're close as you'll ever be | |
| Get up close to me honey | |
| I said you're close as you'll ever be | |
| I said you're close as you'll ever be | |
| You know you're as close as you'll ever be | |
| Close as you'll ever be | |
| C'mon you're close as you'll ever be | |
| Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be | |
| I said you're close as you'll ever be | |
| Gimme as close as you'll ever be |
