I fell asleep on your sofa
and had a dream about a small child in dungarees
who caught his hands in the doors of the Paris metro
Then my face cracked open and you were there
you were there dressed in green, saying something obscene
But that's why I came here in the first place
Oh, well, that and the tea

Can I stay here, lying under the table together
with you now?
can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons?
I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside
and wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
and call them inside for their tea

Cushions and T.V. and the table set for tea
One for you, one for me
Come and lie down on the settee in that green jumper
you can have anything you want
And the clock is saying it's half past four but you know
I want to stay a little more

Can I stay here lying under the table together
with you now?
can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons?
I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside
and wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
and call them inside for their tea

On a pink quilted eiderdown
I want to pull your knickers down
Net curtains blow slightly in the breeze
Lemonade light filtering through the trees
It's so soft and it's warm
Just another cup of tea please
(one lump, thanks)

Can I stay here lying under the table together
with you now?
Can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons
I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside
and wait for their mothers to finish with lovers
and call them inside for their tea

Oh Kevin, Shane, Julie, Diane, Wayne, Frank
Heather, Rachel, Chelsea, Leanne
come home, it's time for your tea
