The way that you looked at him And then you looked at me You must think that I’m proper blind Proper blind not to see. That I was just a stopgap Sitting somewhere in between his hand and his lap Let me tell you that I wasn’t born yesterday my dear. That kiss it lasted too long And we probably shouldn’t have danced to that song It was nothing it was everything Its really such a shame Its so hard to explain to you. (go on with the same chord progression for verse & refrain) He’s back in town tonight He’s expecting you round at quarter to nine But you won’t be there Because he bores the proverbials off you. If he only knew what you thought The lust the lack of trust the temptation you fought He’s worthless .....???.... He’s just a passing fashion and he’s on his way out. That kiss it lasted too long And we probably shouldn’t have danced to that song It meant nothing It meant everything Its really such a shame Its so hard to explain to you. I know that I shouldn’t but I enjoyed it I know that I shouldn’t but I enjoyed it I know that I shouldn’t but I enjoyed it I know that I shouldn’t but I enjoyed it I know that I shouldn’t but I enjoyed it I know that I shouldn’t but I enjoyed it I know that I shouldn’t but I enjoyed it I know that I shouldn’t but I enjoyed it. That kiss it lasted too long And we probably shouldn’t have danced to that song It meant nothing It meant absolutely everything Its really such a shame Its so hard to explain to you. La la la la That kiss that girl that place you go Where is she now you don’t even know? ...sounds about right to me...

À propos de la chanson

La chanson parle d'un moment de confusion et de désillusion dans une relation. Le narrateur réalise qu'il n'était qu'une alternative, un "stopgap", face à l'attirance du passé d'une fille pour un autre. Malgré les sentiments partagés lors d'un baiser et une danse, il comprend que tout cela pourrait avoir été éphémère et ne rien signifier au final, tout en portant un poids émotionnel évident. Le contexte tourne autour d'une dynamique amoureuse compliquée. Le protagoniste attend que la jeune femme se rende compte de ce qu'elle ressent réellement, même si elle est sur le point de retrouver celui qui l'ennuie. La tension entre désir et réalité est palpable, et le narrateur sait qu'il ne devrait pas apprécier ces moments, mais il ne peut s'empêcher de trouver du plaisir dans cette connexion fugace.
