Knee Socks (Live)

It's gotta be now, innit?

Now, now

You got the lights on in the afternoon

An' the nights are drawn out long

And you're kissin' to cut through the gloom

With a cough drop coloured tongue

And you were sittin' in the corner with the coats, all piled high

When I thought you might be mine

In a small world on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night

In the right place and time

When the zeros line up on the 24-hour clock

When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

Well, you cured my January blues

Yeah, you made it all alright

I've got a feelin' I might have lit the very fuse

That we were tryin' not to light

And you're the stranger in my phonebook I was actin' like I knew

'Cause I had nothin' to lose

When the winter's in full swing

And your dreams just aren't comin' true

Ain't it funny what you'll do?

When the zeros line up on the 24-hour clock

When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

The late afternoon, the ghost in your room

That you always thought didn't approve of you knockin' boots

Never stopped you lettin' me get hold of the sweet spot

By the scruff of your (Knee socks)

You and me could have been a team

Each had a half of a king and queen seat

Like the beginning of Mean Streets

You could be my baby

You and me could have been a team

Each had a half of a king and queen seat

Like the beginning of Mean Streets

You could be my baby

All the zeros lined up

But the number's blocked

When you've come undone

When the zeros line up on the 24-hour clock

When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

When the zeros line up on the 24-hour clock

When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked

You walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

Ooh
