You And Me (Were Meant To Be Together) - Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott

Like chewing gum that’s stuck to sole of shoe

Like cotton wool and tube of superglue

Inspector Morse or Sherlock Holmes to clue

You and me were meant to be together

Sun tucked behind cloud in sky, behind that cloud is you and I

For ours is love that conquers any weather

You and me are part of team, a parking ticket and window screen

Like Captain Cook and HMS Endeavour

You and me were meant to be together

We’re joined so tightly at the hip, like mushy pea and salty chip

Front of council truck to lucky heather

Our tides come in and kiss the shore;

you’re always mine, I’m always yours

You and me will always be together

Like deep-sea diver spoke to bed to sea

Like crow’s nest hanging onto branch of tree

Like Margo, Hugo, Theo to après-ski

You and me were meant to be together

Like combine harvester to crop, like hookers loose to tighthead prop

Sadomasochist to chains and leather

The bird belongs in sky above, like you and I are glued in love

Closer than the tar is to the feather

You and me were meant to be together

We’re joined so tightly at the hip, like mushy pea and salty chip

Front of council truck to lucky heather

Our tides come in and kiss the shores;

you’re always mine, I’m always yours

You and me will always be together

Ours is an attraction even an idiot could work out

Simple as duck to water or pork and steak to gout

It need not climb up roof and get to chimney pot and shout

Like cryptic crossword clues to the clever

You and me were meant to be together

We’re joined so tightly at the hip, like mushy pea and salty chip

Front of council truck to lucky heather

Our tides come in and kiss the shores;

you’re always mine, I’m always yours

You and me will always be together

You and me will always be together

You and me will always be together
