X Offender (BBC Radio 1 - The Apollo Theatre, Glasgow)

I saw you standing on the corner
You looked so big and fine
I really wanted to go out with you
So when you smiled
I laid my heart on the line

You read me my rights
And then you said: "Let's go"
And nothing more
I thought of my nights
And how they were
They were filled with -

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh

We sat in the night
With my hands cuffed
At my side
I looked at your life
And your style
Wanted nothing more

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh

Walking the line
You were a marksman
Told me that law
Like wine is ageless
Public - defender
You had to admit
You wanted the love
Of a sex offender

I know you wouldn't go
You'd watch my heart burst
Then you'd step in
I had to know
So I asked
You just had to laugh

My vision in blue
I call you from
Inside my cell
And in the trial
You are there
With your badge
And rubber boots

I think all the time
How I'm going to
Perpetrate love with you
And when I get out
There's no doubt
I'll be sex-offensive to you

Ooh-whoo...
Ooh-whoo...
