You used to get it in your fishnets
Now you only get it in your night dress
Started all the naughty nights with niceness
Now you're in a very common crisis
Everything's in order in a black home
Nothing is as pretty since he passed on
That Bloody Mary's dripping in Tabasco
Remember when he used to be a rascal?

Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Not as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up...

Flicking through a little book of sex tips
Remember when the boys were all electric?
Now when she tells she's gonna get it
I'm guessing that she found it - just forget it
Figures for not getting sentimental
Said she wasn't going but she went still
Now she gets her fella to be gentle
Was it a knickerbocker or a betting pencil?
Oh that boy's a slag
The best you ever had
The best you ever had
Is just a memory and those dreams
Weren't as daft as they seem
Not as daft as they seem
My love when you dream them up
Oh, where did you go?
Where did you go?
Where did you go? Woah.

Falling about
You took a left off Laspark Lane
You just sounded it out
You're not coming back again.
