Squeeze — Short Break lyrics

Lyrics

He raped her with his eyes the minute she walked into the office as she
stretched to hang her coat behind the door he beamed a smile so big she could
have filled it with helium and flown off acr
He countryside he tried very hard to invite her out for lunch but like most
women she could sense the underlying note of danger her instincts kept him at a safe distance and then he made her a c And the steam rose across her face
It could be you it could be me We’ll have to wait we’ll have to see
Its all for sale now that it’s time
To take a short break
The sensation of safety and the little boy ambition to drive around
Mountain roads makes a woman mad for attention she hides the car keys he turns
the place upside down and then looks out the window through the french blinds
to see the car off in the distance a Of country dust feathers the sunlight as she smiles into the windscreen what
can he do but wait patiently folding a coin through his fingers
It could be you it could be me We’ll have to wait we’ll have to see
It’s all for sale now that it’s time
To take a short break
There she is again this time with a pair of jeans being pulled slowly up over
the curves of her body he plays guitar in the rocking chair these are the jeans
of our forefathers these are the jea
The 21st century because this is the new world where television and eye become
one as we look down the digital telescope into the future and now it’s time for
a short break
It could be you it could be me We’ll have to wait we’ll have to see
Its all for sale now that it’s time
Its lighter than air
Whiter than white draft in a can
The price is right save as you go The drive of your life it’s good to talk
We say hello
We say goodbye deep frozen days
It could be you it could be me Its all for sale now that it’s time
To take a short break
