Song Lyrics

She was waiting at the station
He was getting off the train
He didn't have a ticket so he had to bum through the barriers again
Well the ticket inspector saw him rushing through
He said "girl you don't know how much I missed you but
We'd better run 'cause' I haven't got the funds to pay this fine"
She said "fine"

Well so they ran out of the station and jumped onto a bus
With two of yesterdays travel cards and two bottles of Bud
And he said "you look well nice"
Well she was wearing a skirt
And he thought she looked nice
And yeah, she didn't really care about anything else
Because she only wanted him to think that she looked nice
And he did

But he was looking at her, yeah all funny in the eye
She said "come on boy tell me what you're thinking
Now don't be shy"
He said alright, "I'll try
All the stars up in the sky and the leaves in the trees
All the broken bits that make you, each part and grassy bits in between
All the matter in the world is how much I like you"

She said "what?"
He said "let me try and explain again"

"Right, birds can fly so high, or they can shit on your head
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel so scared
But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Right birds can fly so high and they can shit on your head
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel so scared
But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Yeah that's how I feel about you"

She said "what?"
He said "you"
She said "what are you talking about?"
He said "you "

Right birds can fly so high or they can shit on your head
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel so scared
But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Right birds can fly so high or they can shit on your head
Yeah they can almost fly into your eye and make you feel well scared
But when you look at them, and you see that they're beautiful
That's how I feel about you
Right, that's how I feel about you

She said "thanks, I like you too"
He said "cool"
