Two Young Lovers - Live At Hammersmith Odeon, London/1983
We got some Mel Collins joinin' us on the saxophone
So, yeah, this is from the EP too
Okay, just follow us lads, here we go
It was the last day of summer
It was the first of a new romance
He walked into her on the corner
And she said, "I don't dance"
He said, "Baby, let me teach you"
She said, "Okay, when?"
He says to her, "How can I reach you, babe?
I'd really like to see you again"
Well, now, he picked her up on a Friday night
He took her for a bite to eat
His heart was beatin', his hands was a-shakin'
She thought that he was sweet
He stood on her shoes on the dance floor
They do the rockin' belly boogie, twistin' cheek to cheek
He walked her home, he kissed her
And he was walking on air all week
Now, they couldn't stand to be apart
They couldn't leave one another alone
Her mama used to say, "It's getting late, sweetheart
It's time that boy went home"
And upstairs, papa kissed mama
Gave her a sweet caress
Said, "Now, here's to the two young lovers
We oughta wish 'em every happiness"
Well, it was the last day of summer
They come a-walkin' home a hand in hand
Went and told her mama
Then showed her the wedding band
Mama cried and she poured the wine
Papa just said, "God bless
Now, here's to the two young lovers
We're gonna wish 'em every happiness"
Alright
Come on lads
Yeah
