My Legendary Girlfriend

You know, sometimes

When we're lying together

And I know you're asleep

I can hear the soft sound of your breathing

So I get up

And I go to the window

Outside, I can see all the houses

Curtains shut tight against the night

Asleep beneath the roof-tiles

And as I stand here, I wonder

I wonder how many more times I'm gonna come here

I wonder how many more times I'm gonna lie here

And most of all, most of all I wonder

I wonder what it means

I just wanna know what it means

So I woke her and we went walking through the sleeping town

Down deserted streets, frozen gardens grey in the moonlight

Fences, down to the canal

Creeping slowly past the cooling towers

Deserted factories, looking for an adventure

I wandered the streets calling your name

Jumping walls, hoping to see a light in the window

Let me in, let me come in

Let me in tonight

Oh, I see you shivering in the garden

Silver goose-flesh in the moonlight

Oh, she's balancing

There are so many others with unbroken eyes

No cellulite afternoons

And she is balancing, balancing on the edge of ugliness tonight

She is balancing, good God

My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight

Oh no, she doesn't feel right

She's got no-one to hold

Her love is a sham, he is dancing somewhere

Oh no, he doesn't care

Oh well, he'll never know

Jump

Touch my hair

Now

I wanna, I don't care

Cos tonight, maybe we could

Maybe we, maybe we can touch the sky

Do you think that we can, do you think that we can

Touch the sky, please

I know, I know it's, it's not forever

But tonight I don't care

Your skin so pale in the moonlight (oh!)

And the way your lips swell up when you're asleep

Nothing else matters (oh!), do you know how much I want you?

(Oh) Can you feel how much I want you?

Oh! Pitsmoor Woman

Oh, oh, let, oh, let me in tonight

My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight

Oh no, she doesn't feel right

She's got no-one to hold

Her love is a sham, he is dancing somewhere

Oh no, he doesn't care

Oh well, he'll never know

And all the stars came out tonight

And the moon came on his face

It shone right though the clothes she wore

It shone right through the dress she wore

Good God

Oh, y'know

Oh, listen

Listen, please

Oh, I just wanna

I just wanna

You don't understand, oh

It's not like that anymore, please

Please, please, I just wanna

I just, I just wanna

He falls to sleep again

No ch-cheese tonight

She knows

My legendary girlfriend, she is crying tonight

Oh no, she doesn't feel right

She's got no-one to hold

Her love is a sham, he is dancing somewhere

Oh no, he doesn't care

Oh well, he'll never know

And all the stars came out tonight

And the moon came on his face

It shone right through the dress she wore

It shone right through the clothes she wore

And the stars and the moon

And the stars all came down today

Oh, please love me tonight

Good God, now
