Knee Socks
[Verse 1]You got the lights on in the afternoonAnd the nights are drawn out longAnd you’re kissing to cut through the gloomWith a cough drop coloured tongue
And you were sitting in the corner with the coats all piled highAnd I thought you might be mineIn a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday nightIn the right place and time
[Chorus]When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clockWhen you know who’s calling even though the number is blockedWhen you walked around your house wearing my sky blue LacosteAnd your knee socks
[Verse 2]Well you cured my January bluesYeah you made it all alrightI got a feeling I might have lit the very fuseThat you were trying not to lightYou were a stranger in my phonebook I was acting like I knew‘Cause I had nothing to loseWhen the winter’s in full swing and your dreams just aren’t coming trueAin’t it funny what you’ll do
[Chorus]
The late afternoonThe ghost in your room that you always thought didn’t approve of you knocking bootsNever stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot by the scruff of yourKnee socks
[Bridge]You and me could have been a teamEach had a half of a king and queen seatLike the beginning of Mean StreetsYou could Be My Baby[X4]
(All the zeros lined up but the number’s blocked when you’ve come undone)[Chorus][X2]
