A Night Like This
Sixteen years old, looking for a hideawayI'm a set designer, my Mum and Dadthinking I'm gayI'm a lazy bugger, but I like my sportLike girls and music, I'm happy, happy sort(of a guy)
But there's one thing I'm lackingit's sexual experienceSo I ask you, my sweetheartsave me from this wilderness
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
Where I come from, love isjust a hole in the wallAnd the steel mills ring out and generationsheed the callAnd the rain never stops and the skies are greyAnd the chance of romanceslim as a bright sunny day
This is partly the reasonI'm so overwhelmed and shyBecause your beauty, by contrastis gonna make a young man cry
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like thisI've schemed, honey, of a night like thisYou don't know what it means to a boy froma suburban homeTo be left with a woman like youcompletely alone
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
Nice place you've got here, babenever seen a house like thisPool like an ocean, bed like a football pitchAll the guys at the boozer, won't believe my luckBut it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke(than me)
So here we are, the record'sgotten stuck in the grooveMy knees are trembling, c'mon baby, make a move
I've dreamed, honey, of a night like thisI've schemed, honey, of a night like thisI've dreamed, I've schemed, honeyof a night like thisI've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
