[Verse 1]

I fell asleep on your sofa

And I had a dream about a small child

In dungarees, who caught his hands

In the doors of the Paris metro

Then my face cracked open and you were there

You were there dressed in green

Saying something obscene

But that's why I came here in the first place

Oh well, that and the tea, oh

[Chorus]

Can I stay here lying under the table together with you now?

Can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons?

I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside

And they wait for their mothers to finish with lovers

And call them inside for their tea

[Verse 2]

Cushions and TV

And the table's set for tea

One for you, one for me

Come and lie down on the settee

In that green jumper, you can have anything you want

And the, the clock is saying that it's half past four

But you know, you know I wanna, I wanna stay a little more

I wanna stay a little more, oh

[Chorus]

Can I stay here lying under the table together with you, now?

Can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons?

I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside

And they wait for their mothers to finish with lovers

And call them inside for their tea

[Verse 3]

Oh, on a pink quilted eiderdown

I wanna pull your knickers down

Net curtains blowing slightly in the breeze

Lemonade light filtering through the trees

It's so soft and it's warm, just another cup of tea, please

One lump, yeah, thank you, thank you

Thank you, thank you, thank you

Woo

[Chorus]

Can I stay here lying under the table together with you now?

Can I hold you forever in acrylic afternoons?

I want to hold you tight whilst children play outside

And they wait for their mothers to finish with lovers

And call them inside for their tea

[Outro]

Oh, Wayne, Julie, Diane, Heather, Rachel, come home

Ooh

Uh oh

Oh

Oh

Oh
