Mind the gap - Lyrics

1. If I swing for

If I swing for you

Would the branch fall

Would it break in two?

Cos all I wanna do

All I wanna do

Is all about the me and you

You and me

(I've got something in my tree)

Ch Get that monkey

Get that monkey off my back

Get that monkey off my shoulder

Put that monkey

Put that monkey in the sack

Stop that monkey jumping over

2. If I could run far

Should I run to you?

If I was done for

Would you run me through?

Cos all I wanna do

All I wanna do

Is all about the me and you

You and me

(There's something in my tree)

Ch Get that monkey

Get that monkey off my back

Get that monkey off my shoulder

Put that monkey

Put that monkey in the sack

Stop that monkey jumping over

Stop that monkey coming

Stop that monkey coming

Stop that monkey coming back

1. Nobody could tell me why

When you kissed a girl

You might make her cry

I let so many nights go by

Before I knew the reason why

Now the secret is mine

Ch 1: Don't give me the mystery of life

(I just got the rope untied)

I won't let the secret slip away

Keep the seven wonders standing by

(I've found the wonder here inside)

The game of love just overpaid

2. Anybody will do

If love is just something to do

But I don't want a walk-on part

When I know what it's like to star

In games of the heart

Ch 1: Don't give me the mystery of life

(I just got the rope untied)

I won't let the secret slip away

Keep the seven wonders standing by

(I've found the wonder here inside)

The game of love just overpaid

One spectacular night

I sang the sweetest serenade

When love's secret was mine

Can't let it go

Cos I've got it made

Got it made

Ch 2: Don't give me the mystery of life

(I just got the rope untied)

I won't let the secret slip away

Keep the seven wonders standing by

(I've found the only one inside)

The game of love just overpaid

Ch 1: Don't give me the mystery of life

(I just got the rope untied)

I won't let the secret slip away

Keep the seven wonders standing by

(I've found the wonder here inside)

The game of love just overpaid

1. She looked supersonic

Through all the vodka tonic

But there's a hole in this

And I can't put my finger on it

I got a boner fide

Problem to get astride

I looked the front door

Now I'm Russian round the backside

Put a record on

Butt play me the flip side

One more and we go

Rump riding in overdrive

Do da do da day

Do the small intestine

Do da do da hey

Leave it all behind

It's a rule of thumb

Does she come undone?

Does she come undone?

2. This is a strange town

Everyone's eyes are brown

Is it a cyclops

Or am I just standing upside down?

She said say mind's a crack

It's like a dirt track

I said it's really nothing more

Than just a skid mark

Dance round the pole

Sing along with the flip side

Go go Sally go

Rump riding in overdrive

Do da do da…

1. Remember when one and one was two

And we were much amused

A million years were fine

And that was not much time

Now we've got time to lose

Nothing and a lot to do

And you say even presidents

And kings can't find the glue

Ch 1: Well if George Washington could save us

I could make arrangements

If you want the independence

If it's greener on the other side

But me I'm mending fences

So I say kiss George Washington goodbye

2. Remember all I wanna do

Is see you dancing to my tune

If Washington was you

He'd be dancing too

This much I can do

And if you want me I want you

And all the kings and queens

And presidents can sing it too

Ch 2: George Washington could save us

But who needs independence

Maybe it's a different flavour

But it's not a different life

And I know George, he was no raver

So I say kiss George Washington goodbye

Break: Wave the flag

And put it in the bag

[Where] good is bad

And Bad is just about as good

As we could ever have

Ch 3: George Washington, George Washington's the man

But who needs Uncle George

[When] we've got the best we've ever had

And I know George would say the same

If he was in the band

So I say kiss George Washington

George Washington goodbye

Kiss George Washington, George Washington goodbye…..

1. Don't try to fit me like a glove

Don't try to hang me out to dry

Don't try to tie the hands of love

When you know sleeping dogs don't lie

Now I love you so

So don't look behind the door

Cos all you'll ever find

Is just life

[I'm working late

I missed the train

I stayed with Ray

Some kind of stain

Can't find a cab

I'm here instead

My phone was dead

Don't get mad]

I love you so

But don't look behind the door

Cos all you'll ever find….

2. Some people sink inside suspicion

Playing games inside their minds

Seems to me like a prescription

For relieving the love from your life

When I love you so

Should be all you need to know

Cos it's only life…

[She's just a friend

She works with Ben

He breaks, she mends

That's all, the end

Where could I find

Or have the time

Or place but mine

Be sensible]

When I say I love you so

Baby I love you more - it's our "Love in Time"

I'm still living for you

When you change your mind

I've got wings to bring you

Back in the blink of an eye

1. If I jumped a ring of fire

If I swam a sea of ice

Would I sink in my desire

Before I touched paradise?

Don't wanna talk about your mom and dad

Or light your funeral pyre

I like the waves crashing over my back

But they can't put out the fire, hey

Some like it hot, boy

But check the label

Cos if you get it wrong, boy

You lose the bagel

If you play with the wrong toy

You're gonna wake up

With an ass like a Japanese flag, mmm

An ass like a Japanese flag

2. If I put Alice in chains

If I pulled her skin tight

If I gave Alice chilblains

Would it get me through the night

Don’t wanna talk about your polythene bag

Don't wanna know what's inside

I love you baby cos you're so damn bad

I like to seek for the hide

Some like it hot, boy

But check the label

Cos if you get it wrong, boy

You lose the bagel

If you play with the wrong toy

You're gonna wake up

With an ass like a Japanese flag, mmm

An ass like a Japanese flag
