Knee Socks

You got the lights on in the afternoon
And the nights are drawn out long
And you’re kissing to cut through the gloom
With a cough drop coloured tongue
And you are sitting in the corner with the coats all piled high
And I thought you might be mine
In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night
In the right place and time
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
Well, you cured my January blues
Yeah, you made it all alright
I got a feeling I might have lit the very fuse
That you were trying not to light
You were a stranger in my phone book, I was acting like I knew
‘Cause I had nothing to lose
When the winter's in full swing and your dreams just aren’t coming true
Ain’t it funny what you’ll do?
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
The late afternoon
The ghost in your room that you always thought
Didn’t approve of your knocking boots
Never stopped you letting me get hold of the sweet spot
By the scruff of your
Knee socks
You and me coulda been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could be my baby
You and me coulda been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could be my baby
You and me coulda been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could be my baby
You and me coulda been a team
Each had a half of a king and queen seat
Like the beginning of Mean Streets
You could be my baby
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock
When you know who’s calling even though the number is blocked
When you walked around your house wearing my sky blue Lacoste
And your knee socks
Knee socks
Knee socks
