  • It's gotta be now, innit? Now, now

    You got the lights on in the afternoon
    And the nights are drawn out long
    And you're kissing to cut through the gloom
    With a cough drop colored tongue
    And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
    When I thought you might be mine
    In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
    In the right place and time

    When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
    When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
    When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
    And your knee socks

    Well you cured my January blues
    Yeah, you made it all alright
    I've got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse
    That we were trying not to light
    And you were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew
    'Cause I had nothing to lose
    When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren't coming true
    Ain't it funny what you'll do

    When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
    When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
    When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
    And your knee socks

    The late afternoon
    The ghost in your room that you always thought didn't approve of you knocking boots
    Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of your
    (Knee socks)

    You and me could have been a team
    Each had a half of a king and queen seat
    Like the beginning of Mean Streets
    You could be my baby
    You and me could have been a team
    Each had a half of a king and queen seat
    Like the beginning of Mean Streets
    You could be my baby

    You and me could have been a team (all the zeros lined up)
    Each had a half of a king and queen seat
    Like the beginning of Mean Streets
    You could be my baby (but the number was blocked)
    You and me could have been a team
    Each had a half of a king and queen seat (when you've come undone)
    Like the beginning of Mean Streets
    You could be my baby

    When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock (all the zeros lined up)
    When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
    When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
    And your knee socks

    When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock (all the zeros lined up, oh)
    When you know who's calling even though the number is blocked
    When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
    And your knee socks
