"You Probably Couldn't See for the Lights but You Were Staring Straight At Me"

One look sends it coursing through the veins

Oh, how the feeling races

Back up to their brains

To form expressions on their stupid faces

They don't want to say hello

Like I want to say hello

Well, my heartbeat's at its peak

When you're coming up to speak

And, oh, I'm so tense, never tenser

Could all go a bit Frank Spencer

And I'm talking gibberish

Tip of the tongue but I can't deliver it

Properly, oh, it's all getting on top of me

And if it weren't this dark, you'd see how red my face has gone, yeah

Everybody's trying to crack the jokes

And that to make you smile

Those that claim that they're not showing off

Are drowning in denial

But they're not half as bad as me

Say anything and I'll agree

'Cause when it comes to acting up

I'm sure I could write the book

And now that you're more than a part in the play

It's slightly easier to think what to say

You had us all standing on our heads

Doing our best tricks, yeah

Never again

Well, never again, no

Will there be another one

Quite as desirable as you

One look sends it coursing through the veins

Oh, how the feeling races

Back up to their brains

To form expressions on their stupid faces
