lyrics

He moved away for family
He moved for the golf and the trees
Double caramel - much sweeter than this
When you’re inside me

From Chatley Heath to Cooper’s Hill
Where Ronnie stood waiting until
The message came across in a sequence of bursts
Like you’re inside me

(I’m just trying to say)
Double-yellow lines cross your face
(I’m just trying to say)
And lodge in my memory

But would it help if I send it in semaphore?
Would it help if I send it, send it, oh?
I’m only flesh and blood and you
You’re all just smoke and mirrors

I put the pieces in a bag
And left it outside on the kerb
Coming up the stairs, a shortness of breath
Like you’re inside me

(I’m just trying to say)
Double up and I’ll keep it close
(I’m just trying to say)
In silence perpetually

But would it help if I send it in semaphore?
Would it help if I send it in semaphore?
Will it ever help if I send it in semaphore?
Will it ever help if I send it in semaphore?
Oh, oh, oh, just kiss me

It rolls on
It rolls on and on and...

Would it help if I send it in semaphore?
Would it help if I send it in semaphore?
Will it ever help if I send it in semaphore?
Will it ever help if I send it?
