She said meet me at the gates at 8
Leave now don't be late
She said one day she'd walk away 'cos I was always late
Thought things were ok
Didn't care though anyway
Say "Sorry babe I had to meet a mate" - tempting fate
We first met through a shared view
She loved me and I did too
It's now 7:50, getting ready, better be nifty
Doing my hair quickly
Step out - it's cloudy
Mate bells me to borrow money I've got two henries and a dealer to pay
Call up on geezers to rid these green trees in my reaking jeans
Got a "you think I care?" air out-glaring geezer stares
I'm here and I'm there
Couldn't see past the end of my beer..
What was getting near or the silence after the cheers
Didn't know that it was over
Till it was too late (too late)
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there?
She said meet me at the gates
Don't be late
But pretty soon the day came for change and I was glad she never walked away
So I'm choosing what to wear
Doing my hair with an hour to spare
When my life went pear she'd been there with a fixed stare
Big wheel climbs to the top
Geezers' stares bounced off
Standing at the top of this huge mountain
Smiling and shouting
Spring flowers sprouting
Not one inch of doubt in my mind as i reach the gates
Came round the corner at a rate
Risked her love but I was gonna set things straight
Never again am I gonna be late x3
Didn't know that it was over
Till it was too late (too late)
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there?
I said meet me at the gates
Leave now don't be late
I waited for a while listening to her voicemail
Mind set sail
Then the facts turned me pale
Wind, rain and hail
My fears unveiled for my fair female
She'd walked away
Too little too late
I step up the pace, walk past the gates rain runs over my face
Spirit falls from grace
I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place in the chase
Sat down, got a fat frown
Weeping and drowning my senses
For this love game's expensive
Walk in a trance
Got a wounded soldier stance
And everyday geezer stares throw me off balance
Now nothing holds significance, and nothing holds relevance
Cos the only thing I can see is her elegance
Didn't know that it was over
Till it was too late (too late)
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there?
Didn't know that it was over
Till it was too late (too late)
But if I ever needed you
Would you be there?
