Closer Than Most — текст песни (The Beautiful South)

Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open
and it made me long for little last night
Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet
But a sweet worth every bite


Now I`m not normally one to be greedy
But I had to be greedy with you
5 days, 6 days. the whole of the month
wouldn`t satisfy my only sweet tooth


Well it can take many years to forge a friendship
It can take a lifetime to get close
But we took all the shortcuts,
used our hearts as a map
and we still got closer than most


So excuse my staring but it`s just your looks
are a standard well above myself
Your face might mean zip to you
But to me it`s something else


All I can do is thank you
and wish that every dream you have will come true
5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life
I`ll be wishing for the riches for you


You dashed pretty`s only chance of a compliment
and gave the plain the blues
Turned supermodel into last year`s pull
and got her down shining your shoes


And I don`t mean to be hod carrier
of the ordinary folks bad news
But tell Miss World to fly to Mars
If she really doesn`t like to lose
