Knee Socks

You got the lights on in the afternoon

And the nights are drawn out long

And you're kissin' to cut through the gloom

With a cough drop coloured tongue

And you were sittin' in the corner with the coats all piled high

And I thought you might be mine

In a small world, on an exceptionally rainy Tuesday night

In the right place and time

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock

When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

Well, you cured my January blues

Yeah, you made it all alright

I've got a feelin' I might have lit the very fuse

That you were tryin' not to light

You were a stranger in my phonebook I was actin' like I knew

'Cause I had nothin' to lose

When the winter's in full swing and

Your dreams just aren't comin' true

Ain't it funny what you'll do?

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock

When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

The late afternoon, the ghost in your room

That you always thought didn't approve

Of you knockin' boots

Never stopped you lettin' me get hold

Of the sweet spot by the scruff of your

Knee socks

You and me could have been a team

Each had a half of a king and queen seat

Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets

You could be my baby

You and me could have been a team

Each had a half of a king and queen seat

Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets

You could be my baby

You and me could have been a team

Each had a half of a king and queen seat

Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets

You could be my baby

You and me could have been a team

Each had a half of a king and queen seat

Like the beginnin' of Mean Streets

You could be my baby

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock

When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks

When the zeros line up on the 24 hour clock

When you know who's callin' even though the number is blocked

When you walked around your house wearin' my sky blue Lacoste

And your knee socks
