lyrics

HALF PAST TWO – THE STUNNING (S.Wall)

Half past two and because of you
I haven’t slept a wink
Mixed up in a mixing bowl my mind is on the brink
The dishes are all dirty my dinner’s on the floor
The cat is scratching at my leg, crying out for more.

Every day is grey when she’s not in town
But those grey days are so much brighter
When she’s around

Hurry up now you mustn’t linger
Or you’ll be too late
You don’t want to get the sticky finger
on this important date
should I clean up my bedroom and make my bed in case
should I buy some rubber balloons
just to play it safe?


Every day is grey when she’s not in town
But those grey days are so much brighter
When she’s around.


INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Every day is grey when she’s not in town
But those grey days are so much brighter
When she’s around……when she’s around

I’m not looking for the gold ring thing
I’m just flying on new love’s wings
I’m looking for the beautiful
looking for the beautiful
looking for the beautiful
looking all around when she’s in town
looking all around when she’s in town
looking all around
looking all around
looking all around
looking all around
