| Lyrics: | I fell asleep on your sofa,
and had a dream about a small child,
in dungarees,
who
caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro.
Then my face cracked open and you were
there,
you were there dressed in green,
saying something obscene.
But that's why I
came here in the first place,
Oh well that and the tea.
Can I stay here,
lying
under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic
afternoons
I want to hold you tight
whilst children play outside
and wait for their
mothers to finish with lovers
and call them inside for their tea.
Cushions and
TV,
and the table set for tea.
One for you, one for me.
Come and lie down on the
settee,
in that green jumper,
you can have anything you want.
And the clock is
saying,
it's half past four but you know,
I want to stay a little more.
Can I
stay here,
lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in
acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
whilst children play outside
and wait for
their mothers to finish with lovers
and call them inside for their tea.
On a pink
quilted eiderdown,
I want to pull your knickers down.
Net curtains blow slightly in the
breeze.
Lemonade light filtering through the trees.
It's so soft and it's warm.
Just
another cup of tea please (one lump thanks).
Can I stay here,
lying under the table
together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold
you tight
whilst children play outside
and wait for their mothers to finish with
lovers
and call them inside for their tea.
Oh Kevin, Shane, Julie, Diane, Wayne,
Frank,
Heather, Rachel, Chelsea, Leanne, come home.
It's time for your tea |
