Painting and Kissing (Liverpool, 2000)

I'm in love with Linda

I think she understands me

She's down in the dumps

She lives on Holloway Road

I met her in the Wig and Gown

We couldn't talk

with the music so loud

But I could tell she was intrigued

She took me down to her basement

She showed me all of her paintings

She sure couldn't paint

But she could kiss, oh yes

East London will never forget

all my wrongdoings but still

it's the place where I live

North London has a place in her heart

She's far too strong for me

that's what I thought at the start

I'm not that strong

After a week or two

I thought our love was true

She was my girlfriend

But I couldn't call her my girlfriend, oh no

The first time that she came to my house

She brought Chardonnay

now I buy Chardonnay almost every day

And as her kissing got worse

oh, her paintings improved

but what does that prove?

It proves nothing

On March the 23rd

she said something so absurd

She said you love to be in love

but you're never really in love

She said you love to be in love

but you're never really in love

Oh oh oh, oh my Lord

Every single day

I get down and pray

she'll change her mind

that she'll change her mind
