Hugh Jones - Forgetful lyrics

I just saw your friend and he told me To forget your haircut and forget your shoes He told me all the things I ought to forget And I forgot them all except for you Now in the corridor a light comes on where no light should be And I hear you shout "Turn around" And now the light goes out I lick down the stamp with the tongue that used to say your name When I know you heard And I send another birthday card And I remember how hard it is to write that word On the corner by the red post box The way the pavement rocks and I can't get near Maybe try again next year So forgetful I just saw your friend and he asked me when your birthday was And I told him lies He seemed so happy when he walked away And I smiled for you and his big surprise Now in the living room a light goes out and the candles shake On your birthday cake Take a breath and then you're blown away So forgetful
