x4    (I said)   Down at the street around half past nine I heard someone scream I found someone dying His throat was slit from ear to ear He mumbled so low I could hardly hear I bent down low so I could hear what he said He said tell me the truth am I nearly that dead    I said you’re close as you’ll ever be Oh yea you’re as close as you’ll ever be   Down on the beach around half past five I saw a pretty girl on a deckchair reclining A grin split her face from ear to ear I went up close I must have got too near Cos I never saw the guy on the  sea-front cafe       Leaving his seat come and running my way Saying you’re close as you’ll ever be Oh yea you’re close as you’ll ever be Get up close to me honey Em      x8 Em      x8       x8  I said you’re     close as you’ll ever be Oh yeah you’re     close as you’ll ever be You’ve been as     close as you’ll ever be                    Close as you’ll ever be  C’mon you’re close as you’ll ever be Oh yea you’re close as you’ll ever be I said you’re close as you’ll ever be      Gimme as close as you’ll ever be                        Mick 2009
