Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say you don't love him
My salamander
Why did you need him?
Oh, no, don't answer, oh, no
[Verse 2]
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart
[Verse 3]
Keeping ahead of the rain on the road
Watchin' my windscreen wipers (Wipers)
Radio play me a danceable ode
Cattle beware of snipers (Snipers)
[Verse 4]
When will you see me?
My salamander
Now don't try to tell me
Oh, no, don't answer, oh, no
[Verse 5]
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart
[Verse 6]
Hittin' the chisel and makin' a joint
Gluing my fingers together ('Gether)
Radio play me a song with a point
Sailor beware of weather (Weather)
[Verse 7]
I'm getting closer
My salamander
Oh, when will we be there?
Oh, no, don't answer, oh, no
[Verse 8]
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer to your heart
I'm getting closer to your heart
I'm getting closer to your heart
[Verse 9]
Getting closer
Getting closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer
