Gingerman
You love the girl, you love the man
Who slipped away under the sign?
Open your eyes and you'll understand
Who broke your back, the gingerman
We are only learning to dive
You learnt it all when you were five
Holding your breaths to stay alive
Escape from the heat under the fan
Learning to love your Uncle Sam
We are only learning to dive
You love the girl, you love the man
Who slipped away under the sign
Open your eyes I bet you'd understand
Who broke your back, the gingerman
The sign on the door deserved a hand
Holding your breaths to be a man
But down on the floor you'll realise
The caterpillar-crawls and butter-flies
Escape from the heat under the fire
Learning to love our Uncle Sam
We are only learning to dive
Alison, the carousel
Broken hearts, another cell
Leaving here I'll understand
Foreign cars are in demand
Alison, the carousel
Broken hearts, another cell
Leaving here I'll understand
Foreign girls are in demand
Demand, in demand, demand
In demand, in demand
And we are only learning to dive
We are only learning to dive
We were barley learning to dive
Who slipped away under the sign?
Open your eyes and you'll understand
Who broke your back, the gingerman
We are only learning to dive
You learnt it all when you were five
Holding your breaths to stay alive
Escape from the heat under the fan
Learning to love your Uncle Sam
We are only learning to dive
You love the girl, you love the man
Who slipped away under the sign
Open your eyes I bet you'd understand
Who broke your back, the gingerman
The sign on the door deserved a hand
Holding your breaths to be a man
But down on the floor you'll realise
The caterpillar-crawls and butter-flies
Escape from the heat under the fire
Learning to love our Uncle Sam
We are only learning to dive
Alison, the carousel
Broken hearts, another cell
Leaving here I'll understand
Foreign cars are in demand
Alison, the carousel
Broken hearts, another cell
Leaving here I'll understand
Foreign girls are in demand
Demand, in demand, demand
In demand, in demand
And we are only learning to dive
We are only learning to dive
We were barley learning to dive
