I find myself At the point where we kissed first On a rooftop Overlooking the East London mosque
They said, they said, they said, they said You can't go around breaking young girls hearts I said, I said, I said, I said Keep at casual, easy thing
And you looked so right In that red dress
Oh how I'd love To be a rock for you To be anything You could rely on
So I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try But I'll get caught out So we'll try, we'll try, we'll try, we'll try But we'll forget the lines, forget the lines
And you looked so thwarted In the back of the car Like you could thwart A hundered wars
Save my letters Where we can first call By the bedroom door And kitchen floor (I tried, I tried, I tried)
All my letters I'm too young To be the father To a son (I tried, I tried, I tried)
