[Intro]
[Verse 1: Dave Hemingway & Paul Heaton]
Here it is again, it's oh-so mad
Turning young and happy into old and sad
Here it is again, just passed by chance
All the way to the lawyer from a sloppy dance
It was another holiday argument
But she threw him into the sea
A glass-bottomed boat pulled him up
His face was rotting in weed
[Pre-Chorus 1: Hemingway & Heaton]
It was rotting in weed, I've seen those people bleed
If it never happens, well, it happens to me
[Chorus: Hemingway & Heaton]
Do you know
Who you love?
Does anybody here have a clue
Just who they're with?
And it was glance by glance
And it was blow by blow
But did they know
Just who they loved?
[Verse 2: Hemingway & Heaton]
Here it is again in the same disguise
Clean shoes, smart tie and deep blue eyes
Here it is again and it makes you sick
Watch the blind man walk along without a stick
Heads, he was a beautiful lover
Tails, he was definitely bad
Heads, you're like no other
Tails, just the best he'd had
[Pre-Chorus 2: Hemingway & Heaton]
You're the best he's had, you're the best so far
All the way to the church from the back of the car
[Chorus: Hemingway & Heaton]
Do you know
Who you love?
Does anybody here have a clue
Just who they're with?
And it was glance by glance
And it was blow by blow
But did they know
Just who they loved?
[Outro: Hemingway & Heaton]
Just who they loved
Just who they loved
Just who they loved
Just who they loved
Just who they loved
Just who they loved
