An assassin and her client had just read the Book of Books,
she stayed home to do her coursework,
I went to see the Crookes,
Jack at the bar shot me some dangerous looks,
she stayed home to do her coursework writing all about books,
Jack at the bar was dancing to The Crookes,
an assassin and her client throwing dangerous looks,
an assassin and her client listening to The Crookes,
and Jack at the bar flicking through some books,
and she stayed home to do her coursework,
gave me dangerous looks,
the assassin took her bishop and she took both his rooks,
and he drew out a sigh, resigned his king,
he said "for you, baby, I'd resign anything,
for you, my love, I'd do anything!"
Take me where you wanna go,
we'll be gone by tomorrow,
anywhere I will follow
Tell me there's love and show me where,
she whispered "Oh, but do you dare?",
said "No, but do I care?"
Nobody can reach us now, my love,
nobody could ever reach us now!
Nobody keeps up with us now, my love,
nobody could ever keep up now
and nobody would know!
She texted me all night about sailing away,
an assassin and her client waited just another day,
Jack at the bar asked if I've got something to say,
an assassin and her client, sailing away,
and Jack at the bar remembered some long gone day,
dreamed sweet dreams of sailing away,
and an assassin and her client look for something to say,
she texted all night asking if I've something to say,
and she texted me all night and said nothing the next day,
the assassin hit a 6 and then rain stopped play,
he drew a sigh and said "I didn't think you'd win?",
she said "For you, baby, I'd do anything,
my love, I would do anything!"
Take me where you wanna go,
we'll be gone by tomorrow,
anywhere I will follow
Tell me there's love and show me where,
whispered "Oh, do you dare?",
said "No, but do I care?"
Nobody can reach us now, my love,
nobody could ever reach us now!
Nobody keeps up with us now, my love,
nobody could ever keep up now
and nobody would know!
Well, I still visit the pub we sat in,
like a Cornerstone, or something Latin,
I forget who's batting, I think it's the assassin,
who's wearing silk and who's wearing satin,
oh, you dress so well,
my love, I would dance through hell!
