Stephen Duffy And The Lilac Time — The Twelve Tones lyrics

Lyrics

Little, get your coat, we must leave
Get out on the street and in the breeze
Summer’s over, night must fall
Cover me in twelve tones
I was just a lad still in my teens
I saved up all I had for leather jeans
They’re bagged and broken at the seams
I had to hear the twelve tones
To fall in love’s as simple as a song
That you hear but once and sing along
Marriage is a symphony
You’ve got to know your 12 tones
You’ve got to know your 12 tones
You’ve got to know your 12 tones
