Lyrics
It's gotta be now, innit? Now, now
You got the lights on in the afternoon
And the nights are drawn out long
And you're kissing to cut through the gloom
With a cough drop colored tongue
And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
When I thought you might be mine
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
In the right place and time
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
Well you cured my January blues
Yeah, you made it all alright
I've got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse
That we were trying not to light
And you were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
'Cause I had nothing to lose
When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true
Ain't it funny what you'll do
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
The late afternoon
The ghost in your room that you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots
Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your
(Knee socks)
You and me could have been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could be my baby
You and me could have been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could be my baby
You and me could have been a team (all the zeros lined up)
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could be my baby (but the number was blocked)
You and me could have been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat (when you've come undone)
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could be my baby
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock (all the zeros lined up)
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock (all the zeros lined up, oh)
When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
Huh, huh, huh
