I fell asleep on your sofa and had a dream

About a small child in dungarees

Who caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro

Then my face cracked open and you were there

You were there, dressed in green saying somethin', somethin' obscene

But that's why I came here in the first place

Oh, well, that and the tea, ohh Can I stay here lying under the table together with you now?

Can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons?

I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside

And wait for their mothers to finish with lovers

And call them inside for their tea Cushions and TV and the tables set for tea

One for you, one for me

Come and lie down on the settee, in that green jumper

You can have anything you want and the clock is saying

It's half past four but you know, well, I want to

I want to stay a little more, want to stay a little more Can I stay here, lying under the table together with you now?

Can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons?

I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside

And then wait for their mothers to finish with lovers

And call them inside for their tea, oh On a pink quilted eiderdown, I want to pull your knickers down

Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze

Lemonade light filterin' through the trees

It's so soft and it's warm

Just another cup of tea please, one lump thanks

Again, again, again, again, again Can I stay here, lying under the table together with you now?

Can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons?

I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside

And then wait for their mothers to finish with lovers

And call them inside for their tea Oh, yea, Kevin, Diane, Heather, Rachel come home

Aaa
