Closer Than Most - The Beautiful South

作词：Paul Heaton/Dave Rotheray

作曲：Paul Heaton/Dave Rotheray

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

Five days six 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

Well 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

Five years six years the whole of your life

I'll be wishing for the riches for you

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

Well 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

Now 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

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

Couldn't count the years that I've been waiting

Wouldn't like to guess at what I'm missing

Couldn't count the years that I've been waiting

Wouldn't like to guess at what I'm missing
