Beautiful South Closer Than Most Lyrics

Closer Than Most Lyrics

Well I kept fantasizing your eyes were wide open

 And it made me long for little last night

 Yes it was frantic, it was young, it was sweet

 But a sweet worth every bite

 Now I'm not normally one to be greedy

 But I had to be greedy with you

 5 days, 6 days, the whole of the month

 Wouldn't satisfy my only sweet tooth

 

 Well it can take many years to forge a friendship

 It can take a lifetime to get close

 But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map

 And we still got closer than most

 Hey hey hey hey hey hey

 Hey hey hey hey

 Hey hey hey hey

 

 So excuse my staring but it's just your looks

 Are a standard well above myself

 Your face might mean zip to you

 But to me it's something else

 All I can do is thank you

 And wish that every dream you have will come true

 5 years, 6 years, the whole of your life

 I'll be wishing for the riches for you

 

 Well it can take many years to forge a friendship

 It can take a lifetime to get close

 But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map

 And we still got closer than most

 Hey hey hey hey hey hey

 Hey hey hey hey

 Hey hey hey hey

 

 You dashed pretty's only chance of a compliment

 And gave the plain the blues

 Turned supermodel into last year's pull

 And got her down shining your shoes

 And I don't mean to be hod carrier

 Of the ordinary folks bad news

 But tell Miss World to fly to Mars

 If she really doesn't like to lose

 

 Well it can take many years to forge a friendship

 It can take a lifetime to get close

 But we took all the shortcuts, used our hearts as a map

 And we still got closer than most

 Hey hey hey hey hey hey

 Hey hey hey hey

 Hey hey hey hey
