97 Lovers Lyrics

97 Lovers

Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could set them
straight
Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could set them
straight
I know a woman with a picture of Roger Moore 
in a short towel and dressing-gown pinned to her bedroom wall 
She married a man who works on a building site
Now they make love beneath Roger every Friday night Oh 
Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could set them
straight
Ninety-seven lovers rose to meet the sun 
And when the day was over there were only ninety-one
Another I know
Well, she laughs too loud with her friends
Playing it safe on the surface to give her heart time to mend
And then one day without warning he walks unannounced through the door 
And he picks her heart up off the table and he watches it smash on the floor
Ninety-seven lovers twisted out of shape and just one kiss could set them
straight
Ninety-seven lovers rose to meet the sun
And when the day was over there were only ninety-one.
