A Night Like This

Sixteen years old, looking for a hideaway

I'm a set designer, my mum and dad

Thinking I'm gay

I'm a lazy bugger, but I like my sport

Like girls and music, I'm happy, happy sort

(Of a guy)

But there's one thing I'm lacking

It's sexual experience

So I ask you, my sweetheart

Save me from this wilderness

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this

Where I come from, love is

Just a hole in the wall

And the steel mills ring out and generations

Heed the call

And the rain never stops and the skies are grey

And the chance of romance

Slim as a bright sunny day

This is partly the reason

I'm so overwhelmed and shy

Because your beauty, by contrast

Is gonna make a young man cry

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this

I've schemed, honey, of a night like this

You don't know what it means to a boy from

A suburban home

To be left with a woman like you

Completely alone

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this

Nice place you've got here, babe

Never seen a house like this

Pool like an ocean, bed like a football pitch

All the guys at the boozer, won't believe my luck

But it couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke

(Than me)

So here we are, the record's

Gotten stuck in the groove

My knees are trembling, c'mon baby, make a move

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this

I've schemed, honey, of a night like this

I've dreamed, I've schemed, honey

Of a night like this

I've dreamed, honey, of a night like this
