Closer Than Most The Beautiful South

[Intro]

[Verse 1: Paul Heaton]
Well, I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open
And it made me long for little last night
Yes, it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet
But a sweet worth every bite

Now, I'm not normally one to be greedy
But I had to be greedy with you
Five days, six days, the whole of the month
Wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth

[Chorus: Heaton]
Well, it can take many years to forge a friendship
It can take a lifetime to get close
But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map
And we still got closer than most

[Refrain: Dave Hemingway & Heaton]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2: Heaton]
Well, excuse my staring, but it's just your looks
Are a standard well above myself
Your face might mean zip to you
But to me, it's something else
