Great expectations

And if it rains all day
Call on you, I´ll call on you
Like I used to
Slide down beside and wrap you in stories
Tailored entirely for you
I´ll remind you
We exchanged a vow
I love you, I always will
(Ooh)
A call girl with yesterday eyes
Was our witness and priest
Stockport supporters club kindly supplied us a choir
Your vow was your smile
As we move down the aisle
Of the last bus home
And this is where I go
Just when it rains
Blinking and stoned
Rain in your hair
You only smoke
´Cause it´s something to share
Singing, "Bring on the night
To have and to hold
The sodium light turning silver to gold."
Spitfire thin and strung like a violin, I was
Yours was the face with a grace from a different age
But you were the sun in my Sunday morning
You were the sun in my Sunday morning
Telling me never to go
So I´ll live on the smile
And move down the aisle
Of the last bus home
And if you´re running late
This is where I´ll go
Know I´ll always wait
Call on you, I´ll call on you
Like I used to
Slide down beside and wrap you in stories
Tailored entirely for you
I´ll remind you
We exchanged a vow
I love you, I always will
(Ooh)
A call girl with yesterday eyes
Was our witness and priest
Stockport supporters club kindly supplied us a choir
Your vow was your smile
As we move down the aisle
Of the last bus home
And this is where I go
Just when it rains
Blinking and stoned
Rain in your hair
You only smoke
´Cause it´s something to share
Singing, "Bring on the night
To have and to hold
The sodium light turning silver to gold."
Spitfire thin and strung like a violin, I was
Yours was the face with a grace from a different age
But you were the sun in my Sunday morning
You were the sun in my Sunday morning
Telling me never to go
So I´ll live on the smile
And move down the aisle
Of the last bus home
And if you´re running late
This is where I´ll go
Know I´ll always wait
