Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She rises in advance of her panties
I can confirm that God actually exists
She turns and smiles, but never ever scantly
O wow! O wow! How wonderful she is!
[Verse 2]
Well, the horses, they have kicked down the stable
And the rabbits have put carrots in their ears
And her coloured crayons dance upon the table
O wow! O wow! How wonderful she feels!
[Verse 3]
The country doctor whistles across the meadow
And the schoolboy, he hops up and says "gee whiz!"
The dogs, they all are barking at their shadows
O wow! O wow! How wonderful she is!
[Verse 4]
O wow! O wow! Well, nothing could compare
Her friends, now dead, their spectral chins all nod
And they braid a band of violets through her hair
O wow! O wow! How wonderful she was
How wonderful she is!
[Outro]
Do you remember we used to really, really have fun?
We'd be just by ourselves, mucking around, really relaxed, not under pressure.
I guess that's how we make up songs!
I... I remember we were in bed, and then we imagined somebody upstairs.
I don't even know if we heard footsteps, or imagined footsteps and then imagined the story.
That was in that little place opposite Brixton Prison.
I didn't even realise that everyone wasn't like that.
We tried to write a contract of love
But we only got as far as doing the border.
There was never any words in it
Which I thought said a lot more than anything else.
