Those lyrics in full :
She said it was just a figment of speech
& I said "you mean figure" and she said "no, figment"
because she could never imagine it happening, but it did.....
1.
When we first met I played the shy boy
and when she spoke to me for the first time
my nose began to bleed
she guessed the rest
the next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry
and when nobody came to collect our fares
well I knew then this was something special
I couldn't stop thinking about her and every time I switched on the radio
there was someone else singing a song about the two of us
it was just like being on a fast ride at the funfair
the sort you wanna get off because its scary
and then as soon as you're off, you wanna get straight back on again
2.
but, oh, love is strange
and you have to learn to take the crunchy with the smooth I s'pose
she began going out with Mr.Potatohead
It was when I saw her in the car park with his coat around her shoulders
that I realised
I went home and thought about the two of them together until the bath
water went cold around me
I thought about her eyes and the curve of her breasts and about the point
where their bodies met
3.
I confronted her about it,
I said "I'm the most illegible bachelor in town"
and she said "yeah that's why I can never understand any of those silly
letters you send me"
and then one day it happened, she cut her hair and I stopped loving her
