I'm From Further North Than You - The Wedding Present, David Gedge, Terry De Castro

Then you said: «No, I’m not from the South

I am from further North than you!»

And with that you kissed me full on the mouth

And that was when I knew

You were either drunk or you wanted me

You know, either way I wasn’t going to disagree

But how did one crazy night turn into six weeks?

How can we be going out if neither of us speaks?

I think we’re the same in many ways

And I admit we had some memorable days…

But just not very many!

I just think that we both need more

And we can’t ignore how unhappy we were

I’d been abandoned by her

And you needed a friend

Alright, the night we walked into the sea

I guess that was OK

And when we bought that weird pornography

Yeah, that was a good day

First time I saw your red bikini

I just couldn’t help but stare

And when we counted planets in the sky

I was just happy you were there

I think we’re the same in many ways

And I admit we had some memorable days…

But just not very many!

I just think that we both need more

And we can’t ignore how unhappy we were

I’d been abandoned by her

And you needed a friend
