lyrics

you were schooled in a monastery
discipline, latin and classics
and you slept there each night
though your parents lived very nearby
but i went to a bog-standard comp
that was neither the north or the south
while you studied socrates, shakespeare and chaucer
my mind was on woodwork and physics

i’m nothing like you and you’re nothing like me

but i think we can make it
i’m sure we can make it
i feel we can make it work out
no, i don’t think we’ll make it
i’m sure we won’t make it
i feel... like it’s not going to work out now

you are very well-spoken
i’m black country via home counties
your complexion is flawless
mine leaves something to be desired
but you say that you like me the way that i am
shall i read you the phonebook?
i’ve never met anyone like you before
but the novelty’s starting to wear off

i’m sorry, i’m sorry
i’m sorry again

but how long have you waited for a chance like this?
well it didn’t work when you were younger
so it’s not going to work out now
now who’ll be the lonelier
will it be you or i?
