Celebrating my love for you With a stick'n'poke and an Iron Brew Wondering if you can even tell? Finding some excuse to walk in your direction Bathe you in concealed affection Subtlety's a word I cannot spell But it's probably just as well Here's the rub, they bulldozed the companions club Now we've gotta learn to occupy our time
Kicking stones, so it goes All our favourite haunts are closed Let's sack it off and play a board game back at mine Weatherfield Mademoiselle Thinking back to Curly and Raquel On your arrival I can stick on the subtitles Celebrating my love for you With a cherry pop and a bad tattoo And wondering if you can even tell?
