A Fortnight`s Time Lyrics

In a fortnight's time, you will be mine, I'll bide my time

You're a paradigm of womankind, you could be mine

I distrust myself but I've got to try, I catch your eye



Would you like to go on a date with me?

And I know, it's so old fashioned to say so

Five times five equals twenty-five

Don't you know your times tables by now?

Don't you know?



On the last train home, you wanna phone

Instead you rub your eyes

The reflection's grim in the windowpane, it's the human stain

Do you have a drink to erase the day? There's another way



So would you like to go on a date with me?

And I know, it's so old fashioned to say so

Five times five equals twenty-five

Don't you know your times tables by now?

Don't you know?



When it comes to girls, I'm mostly hypothetical

If I list their names, it's purely alphabetical

When it comes to girls, I'm truly theoretical

And if I test a nerve, it's merely dialectical



And so would you like to go on a date with me?

And I know, it's so old fashioned to say so

Five times five equals twenty-five

You should know your times tables by now

Don't you know? I said, don't you know?



In a fortnight's time

You will be mine, you will be mine
