Martha - Curly & Raquel lyrics

You tried to play it cool When the blue lights started flashing But that calm demeanour slipped On the day that you got nicked Cut me open and you'll see That same anxiety runs all the way through me That stick of rock you never licked All the stories that we tell Roy and Haley, Curly and Raquel Romantic reference Come on tell me what's your preference? 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? 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 It's the story of A lonely kid who fell in love When you spray painted 'ACAB' on the wall Of the local village hall Celebrate my love for you with a stick and poke tattoo
