Guinness (Edit)

You caught me on a cold day

I think you thought my trench coat-tracksuit combo was a bit rogue

We didn't meet in the classical sense

But it weren't A-B-C-D or eharmony either

Proper meat and potatoes romancing

Dancing, that's how you said it

And I loved it

You had layers like a pint of Guinness

Blew hot and cold

A real human bean

I try to look smart for you

I try to look after you

I can try but I can't smile anymore

Unless you do

Tatty old patterned shirts selling at stupid prices

Much too clever to get suckered into that fish tank

But we needed somewhere to get comfortable

So we hid behind hangers and hangovers

Behind today

I try to look smart for you

I try to look after you

I can try but I can't smile anymore

Unless you do

Apologies for fireworks

Thankfully time works better than plasters

Love's a rip off if it's counterfeit

But I worked on Queens Market, mate, I can sniff that out

Keep the chain

What a trade

I try to look smart for you

I try to look after you

I can try but I can't smile anymore

Unless you do

Oi, love ya

See ya later
