Living In Harmony
Her watch said eight She would have to wait to be slightly late She didn't want him to think she was too keen
He'd bought some flowers Nothing fancy, just forget-me-nots He thought he should have bought that box of dark chocolates
And they stood there side by side In the early evening rain And they waited until nine o' clock But their prospective dates they never came
Remember when they met He hadn't started shaving yet Dragging on a Consulate and laughing
If I could weave a hex I'd take them back to the Town Hall steps And when she says 'What happens next?' I'll say 'My dears you'll never guess - In twenty years from now you're living in Harmony'.
She went to leave He caught her sleeve and said 'Excuse me please', And handing her the flowers continued 'Would you like these?' She said 'They're lovely' - well she lied because they were not at all - Just some old forget-me-nots in tin foil
And they went off to the Wimpy And they met on Wednesdays And within a month they were holding hands And within a year they had nothing left to say
Remember when they met Well how could anyone forget? Both stood up and soaking wet and laughing
If I had just one wish I'd take them back to before all this Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And as they are about to kiss I'd whisper in their little ears 'In twenty years from now you're living in Harmony, Living in Harmony, Living in Harmony'.
They built Harmony on the place they used to play Where the playground was they built the Harmony Estate Flats and maisonettes, some for sale but most to let A thousand families all living harmoniously
He slammed the door and said 'Those kids have done the lifts again, I've had to walk up fifteen flights and it's pouring with rain'.
She put his tea up - nothing fancy, just some eggs and chips She thought she should have done those breaded cod fillets
And they sat beside the telly Waiting for eight o' clock And they crossed all of their fingers Pinned their hopes on their six numbers coming up
Remember when they met They were too young to place a bet High on just one cigarette and laughing
If I just one more wish I'd take them back to '76 And when she says 'Where do we go from here?' I'd interrupt and say 'Go anywhere - Or in twenty years from now you're living in Harmony, Living in Harmony, Living in Harmony, Living in Harmony, Living in Harmony, Living in Harmony'.
