Darren Hanlon - Video Store lyrics

Well they met at Business College She made a ledger of his heart He never knew how good it felt Until they pushed their desks together He added up the minutes they spent walking to her car To know how much time wasted he didn't need his calculator Then at the Graduation Party On the final day of cla** He probably drank a lot more cheap champagne Then he intended But the cake was almost taken The hors-d'oevres were fading fast And they were handing out certificates To all those who attended And as they leaned out on the window sill He said "You've got fantastic people sk**s, And I've a flair for accounting We've got the rest of our lives at our disposal So I hope you'll please consider My following proposal: Let's move out to the country And we'll open up a video store So she chose a wedding ring and then together they chose a town The diamond in the desert, his fortune around her finger Business names and colour schemes became points contended And in quiet times his idea for a jingle he would sing her Crowd for which they were hoping arrived at the grand opening And in their hands they waved their vouchers They locked both the doors at the end of the day's trading And they held hands behind the counter as on the town the sun was fading Yeah they moved out to the country and they opened up a video store And he would always look to the quiet times When the tapes were all returned And they could sit back together relax and just rewind And it seems that now the profits paid a hair salon on Saturday And the gallop meeting on a Sunday All perms must fall, she was starting to get lazy And he shopped at the local Men's Land 'Cause the prices were always crazy Yeah they moved out to the country And they opened up a video store
