Lyrics

Y'know, sometimes, when we're lying together, and I know you're asleep, I can hear the soft sound of your breathing. So I get up, and I go to the window. Outside I can see all the houses - curtains shut tight against the nite. And as I stood there, I wonder how many more times I'm gonna come here. I wonder how many more times I'm gonna lie here. But most of all, most of all as I stand there, I wonder what it means. Oh-ah. I wonder what it means. I just wanna know what it means, you know - I mean is that, is that a problem? I just wanna know what it means. Yeah, are we ready? Let's do it.

The sun was in the sky and it shone right through the dress she wore, casting tiny rows of shadows on her thigh, all those tiny rows of shadows on her thigh.
Oh, I woke her, we were walking through the sleeping town, deserted factories, gardens grey in the moonlight, jumping fences down by the canal, past cooling towers, looking for an adventure. Oww... C'mon, we got a... we got a late nite bus to catch.
Oh, did you see me? Oh, girl over there with the hot pants on. Get on, oh, get on, get it, get it, get it! Girl over there with the hot pants on, yeah, we gotta get it on, we gotta get it on - ma ma ma. Oh, good god now!

My Legendary Girlfriend, she is crying tonight
Oh no, she doesn't feel right, she's got no one to hold
Her love is a sham, he is dancing somewhere
Oh no, he doesn't care, oh and he'll never know

(Various indecipherable noises)
Oh, good god now!

My Legendary Girlfriend, she is crying tonight
Oh no, she doesn't feel right, she's got no one to hold
Her love is a sham, he is dancing somewhere
Oh no, he doesn't care, oh and he'll never know

And all the stars came out tonight
And the moon came on his face
It shone right through the dress she wore
Yeah, it shone right through the clothes she wore

Oh. I want you all to put your hands together... (claps)... Oh... Ma, oh... Yeah, that's right yeah. No, I've not seen him since Thursday. He said he would probably be in the pub tomorrow nite. I don't know, err, down by the markets. Yeah, y'know that bloke who tries to sell you felt tip pens? Yeah. I don't know. I don't know - listen, listen, why am I supposed to know? How am I supposed to know what he's doing? It's not my prob... No, it's not it's your problem... pick on me... hey... leave me!... listen... hey... it's your... it's not my problem, right... get off, get off my case, okay...
(Indecipherable)
Oh, good god now!

My Legendary Girlfriend, she is crying tonight
Oh no, she doesn't feel right, she's got no one to hold
Her love is a sham, he is dancing somewhere
Oh no, he doesn't care, oh and he'll never know

And oh the stars came out tonight
And the moon came on his face
It shone right through the dress she wore
It shone right through the clothes she wore
And the sun and the moon and the stars all came down today
Oh, please love me tonight
