Lyrics
I got drunk and fell asleep atop the sheets but luckily I left the heater on And in my dreams I wrote the best song that I've ever written Can't remember how it goes I stayed drunk and fell awake I was cycling on a plane and far away I heard you say you liked me We drifted to a party – cool The people went to arty school They made their paints by mixing acid wash and lemonade In my brain I re-arrange the letters on the page to spell your name I found an extra pound and made a bet that if I found a cigarette I'd drop it all and marry you Just then a song comes on "You can't always get what you want" – the Rolling Stones, oh woe is we, the irony! The stones became the moss and once all inhibitions lost The hipsters made a mission to the farm We drove by tractor there The yellow straw replaced our hair We laced the dairy river with the cream of sweet vermouth In my brain I re-arrange the letters on the page to spell your name You said, "We only live once" So we touched a little tongue, and instantly I wanted to I lost my train of thought and jumped aboard the Epping as the doors were slowly closing on the world I touched on and off and rubbed my arm up against yours and still the inspector inspected me The lady in the roof was living proof that nothing really ever is exactly as it seems In my brain I re-arrange the letters on the page to spell your name We caught the river boat downstream and ended up beside a team of angry footballers I fed the ducks some krill then we were sucked against our will into the welcome doors of the casino We drank green margaritas Danced with sweet señoritas, and we all went home as winners of a kind You said, "I guarantee we'll have more fun Drink 'til the moon becomes the sun And in the taxi home I'll sing you a triffid's song!" In my brain I re-arrange the letters on the page to spell your name
