Milan,
When i was a kitten,
We'd sit and sing old songs.
Milan,
When i was a kitten,
We'd sit and sing old songs.
In my head,
Listening to windchimes;
Married a fool
I know.
In my head,
Listening to windchimes;
Married a fool
I know.
Why on earth
Didn't i wait for you?
Now look and see who's paying.
Why on earth
Didn't i wait for you?
Now look and see who's paying.
Those days
On radio one,
Set in the east:
Who cares?
Those days
On radio one,
Set in the east:
Who cares?
Close all
Of the doors, maisie,
Make sure he knows i'm gone.
Close all
Of the doors, maisie,
Make sure he knows i'm gone.
Close down
Over the ocean.
Open the doors,
Fresh air.
Close down
Over the ocean.
