The Eiffel Tower And The BT Tower

I remember when I first realised why I’d do anything for you.

Like if you needed something reached, that I couldn’t reach,

I’d unravel my favourite jumper just to make a lasso.

And like when you said that you loved the songs of the Pet Shop Boys,

But hate the way they sound,

So I played them all out for you on just guitar and kazoo.

And whether we’re in Paris or the midlands

I overdo it every time,

Like a tv chef adding too much seasoning.

But at first I tried to keep it to myself what I’d found,

But now I’m wearing my sandwich board around town

With my name and your name inside a heart shape,

And though I don’t get work anymore,

I don’t care.

Cause I’ve found a girl I can’t ignore.

I remember the first time I realised what first I’d lied to you,

About what books I’d read and DVDs I owned

Just to make me seem more like you,

And worth hanging on to.

But now we call it coincidence,

That all the books that I’d actually read

All had a film version that I’d seen before I knew there was a book around.

That time that I’m with you,

That I just can’t hide the sound,

Of my heart beating louder than a ghetto blaster

But at first I tried to keep it to myself what I’d found,

But now I’m wearing my sandwich board around town

With my name and your name inside a heart shape,

And though I don’t get work anymore,

I don’t care.

Cause I’ve found a girl I can’t ignore anymore.
