Curly & Raquel

You tried to play it cool

When the blue lights started flashing

But that calm demeanour slipped

On the day that you got nicked

Cut me open and you'll see

That same anxiety runs all the way through me

That stick of rock you never licked

All the stories that we tell

Roy and Hayley, Curly and Raquel

Romantic reference

Come on, tell me, what's your preference?

Celebrating my love for you

With a stick and poke and an Irn Bru

And wondering if you can even tell

Finding some excuse to walk in your direction

Bathe you in concealed affection

Subtlety's a word I cannot spell

But it's probably just as well

Here's the rub, they bulldozed the Companions Club

Now we've gotta learn to occupy our time

Kicking stones, so it goes

All our favourite haunts are closed

Let's sack it off and play a board game back at mine

Weatherfield, Mademoiselle

Thinking back to Curly and Raquel

On your arrival, I can turn on the subtitles

Celebrating my love for you

With a cherry pop and a bad tattoo

And wondering if you can even tell

Finding some excuse to walk in your direction

Bathe you in concealed affection

Subtlety's a word I cannot spell

But it's probably just as well

It's the story of a lonely kid who fell in love

When you spray painted 'ACAB' on the wall

Of the local village hall

Celebrate my love for you with a stick and poke tattoo

Celebrate my love for you with a stick and poke tattoo

Celebrate my love for you with a stick and poke tattoo

(It's the story of a lonely kid who fell in love

When you spray painted 'ACAB' on the wall)
