lyrics

Playing songs on Surrey Street
For happy ears
All my finest moments come when no-one hears
We met in the mountains
I didn't say hello
You're sweeter by a country mile than the girls at home

I strolled down a footpath
There was ivy on the wall
Then I saw you waiting
You were icy cold
I miss you baby even though
We spoke today
We'll put a cushion under you
To shield you from the pain

When are you gonna love me?
When are you gonna smile?
When are you gonna break my heart
And leave me for a while?
Cos when I see Don Draper
In a suit on my TV
Yeah when I see Don Draper
I see what I could be

Kiss me quick before I have to leave again
I don't care for shelter
I'll kiss you in the rain
I woke up in a police car
They didn't want to sing along
If I did it in the name of love
Did I do anything wrong?
