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 yeaterday"

27 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 baling 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"

27 yards of dental floss but she still won't give me a smile.

I'm King Euphoria, she's Queen Victoria

27 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 a light on me?
