Not When You're in Love

One, two, three

Watching the clock in a hotel bar
Turn it off, turn it off, make it stop
Another round, another word
A stare so hard
It's easy to ignore
But not when you're in love (not when you're in love)
(When you're in love)

Curving up the Regent's street
Kings Cross to Queens
Counting out the stops, missing mine
Do you know what I mean?
Anywhere you need, name your place
We can shoot the shit
Staying in, staying out
It's all the same to me

Taking your time
Keeping on or keeping off the wine
But not when you're in love (not when you're in love)
(When you're in love)

Passing the green
Tennis courts in your jeans (in love)
The trees bow down for you
And it's a wonderful thing (in love)
Like drops of rain
These things, they fall away
But not when you're in love (not when you're in love)
(When you're in love)

Well, it's early doors
And nowhere to go
And even the street of Clayton Street is closed
Now you're flagging a cab and it's all to soon for that
Well, I couldn't care less, it's easy to leave (not when you're in love)
But not when you're in love

Now you're taking a walk
Up the Great North Road
Compliments get you everywhere but not here
Don't look, don't touch, leave the fire alone
But it's not in the English language
And it's not when you're in love (not when you're in love)
(When you're in love)

You're checking up, you're checking in
Watching from a distance (watching from the)
Oh, not when you're in love (not when you're in love)

Checking up, you're checking again
Watching from a distance
Oh, not when you're in love (when you're in love)
Not when you're in love
