Acrylic Afternoons
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 something obscene
But that's why I came here in the first place
Oh well that and the tea
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 table 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
I 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 wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea
On a pink quilted eiderdown
I want to pull your knickers down
Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze
Lemonade light filtering through the trees
It's so soft and it's warm
Just another cup of tea please (one lump thanks)
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
Oh Kevin, Shane, Julie, Diane, Wayne, Frank,
Heather, Rachel, Chelsea, Leanne, come home
It's time for your tea
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 something obscene
But that's why I came here in the first place
Oh well that and the tea
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 table 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
I 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 wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
And call them inside for their tea
On a pink quilted eiderdown
I want to pull your knickers down
Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze
Lemonade light filtering through the trees
It's so soft and it's warm
Just another cup of tea please (one lump thanks)
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
Oh Kevin, Shane, Julie, Diane, Wayne, Frank,
Heather, Rachel, Chelsea, Leanne, come home
It's time for your tea
