One two three four 

We always met up on Friday’s on a wall in the precinct 

Supped a few cider’s then the snogging commenced 

Oh it’s a love that happens once in a lifetime 

Practically having sex on the carpet in the snug 

Sadness descended as we walked past the chip shop 

It followed us down to the deserted bus stop 

Oh why must we do what they want us to do 

It’s our night and you’re coming home with me, alright? 

 

I had been warned not to bring her back 

It was the law, an unquestioned fact 

Hoping no-one was there to see 

My heart stopped as I turned the key 

The creaks on the stairs were waiting there like a minefield 

The stupid teenagers that were gagging for it 

Oh God we made it past my bedroom door 

Under the covers it got so nice and warm 

Then our silence was murdered and our darkness was blinded 

Mother had burst in with that look on her face 

Oh I knew exactly what I was in for 

One of her talks about contraception, morals and all that stuff 

 

I had been warned not to bring her back 

It was the law, an unquestioned fact 

Hoping no-one was there to see 

My heart stopped as I turned the key 

 

One more time 

 

I had been warned not to bring her back 

It was the law, an unquestioned fact 

Hoping no-one was there to see 

My heart stopped as I turned the key
