(I said) |
|
Down at the street around half past nine |
|
I heard someone scream |
|
I found someone dying |
|
His throat was slit from ear to ear |
|
He mumbled so low I could hardly hear |
|
I bent down low so I could hear what he said |
|
He said tell me the truth am I nearly that dead |
|
I said you're close as you'll ever be |
|
Oh yeah you're as close as you'll ever be |
|
Down on the beach around half past five |
|
I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining |
|
A grin split her face from ear to ear |
|
I went up close I must have got too near |
|
'Cause I never saw the guy on the sea-front cafe |
|
Leaving his seat come and running my way |
|
Saying you're close as you'll ever be |
|
Oh yeah you're close as you'll ever be |
|
Get up close to me honey |
|
I said you're close as you'll ever be |
|
I said you're close as you'll ever be |
|
You know you're as close as you'll ever be |
|
Close as you'll ever be |
|
C'mon you're close as you'll ever be |
|
Oh yea you're close as you'll ever be |
|
I said you're close as you'll ever be |
|
Gimme as close as you'll ever be |
