Well, it happened years ago
When you lived on Stanhope Road
We listened to your sister
When she came home from school
'Cause she was two years older
And she had boys in her room
We listened outside and heard her
Alright
Well that was alright for a while
But soon I wanted more
I want to see, as well as hear
And so I, I hid inside her wardrobe
And she came home 'round four
And she was with some kid called David
From the garage up the road
I listened outside, I heard her
Alright
Oh, I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
When I saw you next day
I really couldn't tell
'Cause you might go and tell your mother
And so you went with Neve
Oh yeah, and Neve was coming on
And I thought I heard you laughing
When his Mum and Dad were gone
I listened outside, I heard you
Alright
Oh, I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Oh yeah
Well, I guess it couldn't last too long
I came home one day
And all her things were gone
I fell asleep inside
I never heard her come
And when I opened up the wardrobe
And I had to get it on, yeah
Oh, listen
Oh, we were on the bed when you came home
I heard you stop outside the door
I know you won't believe it's true
I only went with her 'cause she looks like you, my god!
Oh, I want to take you home
I want to give you children
You might be my girlfriend, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

The surface story is : He fancies the younger girl. The sister is older and is getting it on, so they listen. He spies on the sister and then ends up in the cupboard spying on her. He then ends up avoiding the younger girl. Younger Girl in typical manner goes off with some other chap called Neve and sleeps with him. He then runs off, and spys more on the sister again. At some later date, the sister finds him in the cupboard and they end up sleeping together. He then confesses to her about sleeping with the sister yet wanting to be with her. She probably hates him, but it's all her fault so...
