Lyrics

I fell asleep on your sofa
And had a dream about a small child
In dungarees
Who caught his hands, in the doors of the paris metro
Then my face cracked open and you were there
You were there, dressed in green
Saying something obscene
But that's why I came here in the first place
Oh well that and the tea

Ooooooh!

Can I stay here
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And they wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea

Cushions and tv
And the tables set for tea
One for you, one for me
Come and, lie down on the settee
In that green jumper
You can have anything you want
And the clock is saying
It's half past four but you know
You know I wanna, I want to stay a little more
I wanna stay a little more>

Ooooooh!

Can I stay here
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And they wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea

On a pink quilted eiderdown
I want to pull your knickers down
Net curtains, blowing slightly in the breeze
Lemonade light filtering through the trees
It's so soft and it's warm
Just another cup of tea please (one lump yeah)
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you

Ooooooh!

Can I stay here
Lying under the table together with you now?
Can I hold you?
Forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight
Whilst children play outside
And they wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea

Oh wait julie, diane, heather, richard. come on!
Oooooooh!
