You can take 'The Lexicon of Love' away but I'm keeping Remain in Light' You can take away 'It's a Shame About Ray' but I'm holding on to 'Country Life' You can keep 'No Need to Argue' and I'll keep 'The Aeroplane Over the Sea' But hold on to 'The Boy with the Arab Strap' 'cause I'm holding on to 'Village Green' I don't know if the knot just needs untangling 'cause the tapes get stuck all the time Either way I'm keeping 'Double Nickels on the Dime' These were our greatest hits (Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala) The best of me and you(Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala) These were our greatest hits (Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala) The best of me and you I still remember buying you 'Band on the Run' on the first day that we kissed But you always did prefer 'McCartney I' because it reminded you of being a kid
No way your having 'This Nation's Saving Grace' you only listen to it when your pissed But when you sober up it's always "why the f** are you still listening to Mark E. Smith?" I don't know if the knot just needs untangling or if we forgot which way's up and which way is down But still the tape keeps going round and round These were our greatest hits (Shalalalalalala lalalalala) The best of me and you (Shalalalalalala Shalalalala) The best of me and you Of me and you Still the tape keeps going round and round The tape keeps going round These were our greatest hits (Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala) The best of me and you (Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala) Our Desert Island Discs (Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala) The best of me and you (Shalalalalalalala Shalalalala)
