When you left you left me reeling
But I'll try to fight this feeling
I thought you were as happy as a dicky bird
Oh but for my love of another bird
Oh now I'm stuck waiting
A collier's wife will not stop scrating
I hope you know that if I only could
I'd sing you songs like a lover should
If I took you by the hand
It was cos you could hardly stand
And I could hardly stand still

I know there are things you'd like to do
And I like wasting time with you
But I'm still in it for the thrill

So lads you know the drill

You took off and left me reeling
I still don't care for this feeling
You sing in my ear like a mockingbird
But I'd be happy with any other bird
Oh we wasted time like
Times well spent lost in the gutter
The stars we see don't mean a single thing
Oh how we band of brothers sing
If I took you by the hand
It was cos you could hardly stand
And I could hardly stand still

I know there are thing you'd like to do
And I like wasting time with you
But I'm still in it for the thrill

So lads you know the dril
