Tickle Me Pink - Johnny Flynn

(Difford/tilbrook) She was frigid like a bible When she met her boyfriend michael He took her in his zephyr They sat like salt and pepper Looking out across the city From lover's leap is pretty The lights they flick and flutter He told her how he loved her Next night he called for her But dad protected daughter And told him she was poorly A lie was told there surely So michael felt rejected This wasn't quite expected He drove off to his local Where he felt anti-social She cried all night at missing The boy she could be kissing While he was falling over He drunk himself back sober And went home in a taxi And crashed out in the back seat He slept just like a baby Which he hadn't done just lately He saw her in the morning Out with his sister pauline She felt all shy and soppy He acted cool and cocky He said tonight at charlie's There's going to be a party I'll meet you at half seven She visualised the heaven If you ever change your mind Which you do from time to time Never chew a pickle With a little slap and tickle You have to throw the stone To get the pool to ripple That night they danced together It looked like love forever He put his hand on her leg You should have heard what she said He tried again much later It seemed to aggravate her He drove home in silence Avoiding all violence She said let's watch the city From lover's leap is pretty I think I need the fresh air She put a comb through her hair Then while she turned to kiss him And very nearly missed him She put her hand on his leg He felt her tongue in his head If you ever change your mind Which you do from time to time Never chew a pickle With a little slap and tickle You have to throw the stone To get the pool to ripple

You wanna call me up Get it off your chest But you broke my heart And you don't care less (Suddenly you've got) Up in the night Remember when you couldn't sleep without me And we were the best No other bed that I'd rather be In over my head Went over my head Like rolling thunder Now it's a mess Can you confess I was a fool for you I didn't see it coming Drunk on all this love Then suddenly I was sober Now it's too late for us I told you it was over So don't come around here Come around here You wanna call me up Get it off your chest But you broke my heart And you don't care less I've been moving on Done with all your stress Now I've found the next one Suddenly you've got Regrets you got regrets You got regrets regrets I'm not coming back now Regrets you got regrets You got regrets regrets Closing the door Our clothes on the floor We had it wild T shirts were torn We stayed till the dawn In such denial Denying the truth And keeping it cool You put me under Nothing to loose But me and you I was a fool for you I didn't see it coming Drunk on all this love Then suddenly I was sober Now it's too late for us I told you it was over So don't come around here Come around here You wanna Call me up Get it off your chest But you broke my heart And you don't care less I've been moving on Done with all your stress Now I've found the next one Suddenly you've got Regrets you got regrets You got regrets regrets I'm not coming back now Regrets you got regrets You got regrets regrets Now That You Made Your Bed Why don't you go sleep in it Finally Out my Head Now you gotta pay for it Wasted your time changing your mind crossing the line Now I found the next one... I've been moving on Done with all your stress Now I've found the next one Suddenly you've got Regrets you got regrets You got regrets regrets I'm not coming back now Regrets you got regrets You got regrets regrets

The grass is long in the valley, my love And there we'll go to lie When the hawk is high above the house for us And he guards all of the blue sky When winter comes and the nights are cold I'll take your hand to hold I dreamt I flew with the saints last night I know them all by wing size And up there it just doesn't count for naught Whether you're clever or wise When everyone is talking at the very same time I'll still hear your voice, my dear Genesius the actor and Agnes of Rome Are two of the truest who fly I know she's a stout heart And though he had a false start There's a promise of truth in his eyes And it's a stout heart catches the rain And it's a stout heart that feels the pain And It's a stout heart that loves again It's a stout heart Yeah, it's a stout heart Everyone goes against the wind sometimes When the shipping forecast's wrong Said we were landlocked and stuck to this soil Guess they never heard of us winged throng Let's gather us up to the heavens above We can always come back, my love We can always come back, my love

The day we met my life was changed I always heard that love was strange And painful Painful One night you slept upon your side Tangled in white you looked just like An angel An angel So why did you fly away? I've been dying a little death Since that very day I used to laugh, when you told me You must forget and forgive To be free Down by the water, dressed in black I swore revenge to get you back Hateful Hateful I made my camp upon the hill Drank whiskey from the secret still Blameful Blameful So why did you fly away? I've been dying a little death Since that very day I used to laugh, when you told me You must forget and forgive To be free And I never could admit The part I had in it So this is what I get, my friend Drunk in a field of scarlet snow I reconciled with your ghost In april April I stood before the hypocrite There in the mirror brightly lit Shameful Shameful Now, I know why you ran away And I've been dying a little death Since that very day I used to laugh, when you told me You must forget and forgive You must forgive just to live You must forget and forgive To be free
